    I recieved an email late yesterday stating my rifle was finished. And would be mailed to me. I then called up Beretta and spoke with the customer service rep, regarding what was found? Response was the technician looked over the rifle and performed necessary maintenance, cleaned and swabbed the...

    New Tikka T3X CTR...non 1" moa

    A little update. For others who potentially send in their rifles to Beretta. The flow of things goes you contact the service center. They start a file for you and send you info for shipping. As soon as you initiate the electronic shipping, UPS comes and picks up the boxed rifle from you pretty...

    New Tikka T3X CTR...non 1" moa

    Ill try to answer some on going questions to the best of my knowledge. But some are kindve a moot points until I get the rifle returned. Makes sense to me. -I can agree with moving the scope rings a notch or 2 back on the rail. With it sitting on the most forward slot in the one pic. There was...

    New Tikka T3X CTR...non 1" moa

    Thanks for all the input. I chose to send it back to Tikka first. UPS actually just came and got it. Tikka stated they will put it in a lead sled. Shoot 3 shots from "off their shelf ammo". Then go from there with their decision. They mentioned it was okay for the stock to have 1 point of...

    New Tikka T3X CTR...non 1" moa

    This evening I removed the scope and mounts. Re-leveled everything and torqued everything down to spec. Tomorrow Im going to buy a box of match grade,leaded ammo (not sure what grain yet). And go shoot a few groups at 100 yds. Time will tell

    New Tikka T3X CTR...non 1" moa

    Ive never owned a Tikka before. But my barrel does not appear to be free floating. Unless thats the way they are. Tikka owners chime in. Im about to thicken the plot a little. I purchased this rifle due to #1. All the great reviews as a mid range hunting rifle. #2. All the loaded up ammo...

    New Tikka T3X CTR...non 1" moa

    Got excited to finally shoot my new 6.5 Creedmoor after the 10 day waiting period (yes Cali). In hindsight, I wish I could've used those 10 days to talk with Tikka regarding their 1" moa "garauntee". Set up: Tikka t3x ctr 6.5 creedmoor, Vortex HD 5x20, Seekins Precision rings. First 5 shots I...
