I’m absolutely amazed by this level of accuracy. Seemingly so casually and even outside. I have nowhere near this level of accuracy out of my heavy barrelled R8 in 6.5cm. As a suggestion, it would be interesting to see what the copper rounds such as the Blades, the LRX’s and the TTSX’s do in ballistics gel at let’s say 250 yards. It could teach us a thing or two about bullet expansion at further ranges and whether we should attempt further shots. Thanks a lot for these video’s and I really like the fact that you clean the barrel before shooting lead free ammo and that you let us know the velocities!!
Good idea, I am about to start posting some ballistic tests at range and into media on various bullets, ammo etc, like my articles for the shooting press, its just time and editing that seem to slow things up.
Hi, I am amazed sometimes at the accuracy of some of these rifles too, especially with some factory loads. I am totally independent and fund myself but I am a big Tikka/Sako fan as these were my first rifles when stalking growing up. All the best.
I have a CTR in 7mm08 stainless, absolutely superb for the stags and hinds up here beyond the wall 👍 Hopefully my sako 90 synthetic in 7mm will be here before Christmas 🎄 Love the channel
@broadswordballistics will look forward to that thanks, I would also like to ask if you don't mind, your preference on .308 over 6.5 creedmoor, I seem to be having a dilemma, deciding which calibre to move upto, if that makes sense?.
@broadswordballistics that's not much actually. Thanks for the info. 👍 Lot's of carrying during the long hunting days so the weight makes some difference. On the other hand i don't want my rifle to be too light either.
This channel deserves so much more! Incredible quality.
I love the joy of you getting sub MOA, glad you still enjoying reviewing.
Cheers, I wish I could reload as accurate as some of those factory loads too!
Finally! I was waiting for you to be back Sir! Cheers!
Thanks, we had a few hard drives crash and data lost!! but plenty more to come.
@broadswordballistics sorry to hear. I know that issue! Cheers and much looking forward to it.
Well done! Always enjoy your excellent shooting and the stalking and hunting footage is fantastic!
Great review as always thanks! That is a very accurate piece with all loads.
Fantastic looking bit of kit!

I have a Sako also related to Tikka, very accurate and precise rifle for hunting
Not sure if you're affiliated in any way with SAKO/Tikka, but nobody has inspired me more to buy one than you, sir. The accuracy is incredible!

Love the channel
Great calibre.
Many thanks always enjoy your reviews , how about a basic Howa rifle review 👍 and have a happy enjoyable Christmas 🎄
I will ask Highland Outdoors what they have, Merry Christmas
Very nice great review, do a review on the burris if you get chance, it would be good to see, thanks for sharing.
Will do that's next on the list.

When you said available in left hand its music to my ears
Nice rifle & not ammo picky is a bonus.
Great!👏🏻 Which one is lighter this tikka or the Sako S20 you have shot earlier? I'm planning to buy either of them
Hi The S20 is marginally lighter at 7.7 lbs in 6.5 CM and the same cal Tilkka CTR is 7.9 lbs, so not much in it really.

Waidmannsheil! I would get the Tikka in .308 Win than in 6,5
I am a big .308 fan too and 6.5 Creedmoor is certainly becoming my second favourite though.
Is the length of pull the same?
I need to check
