Range Day | 1000 Yard Range | Tikka T3X 7mm
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 бер 2024
- Spring bear season is approaching quickly so I head out to the range one last time to make sure I'm sighted in. I'll be using my Tikka 7mm Remington Magnum on several hunts in the coming year so I want to make the effort extend my shooting distance out to 600 yards. This range is great because it has a variety of targets from 100 to 1000 yards where I can practice shooting longer than normal distances.
Nice!
Nice. I like the Tikkas and the 7 cals, especially the 7 mag.
👍
Awesome! Just bought mine - haven’t shot it yet. Hope to this month. Thank you for posting. Entertaining and educational! 👍🏻
Your welcome, that gun will treat you well!
At 600 yards, generally, that's when you have to start possibly accounting for spin drift. Thus, have to consider starting to aim slightly left, especially beyond 600 but your rifle and ammo will tell you. Bipod and rear bag are your friends for stable shooting. Awesome video. I'm about to pack up and go test some handloads right now.
Just a thought, but the way scopes are designed with their springs, when dialing up or dialing right (counter clockwise), go past your intended DOPE by 3-4 clicks, then back it down where you want it. Not necessary when dialing down or left (clockwise). I've found that to be the case for Zeiss, Leica, Leupold, Vortex, Swarovski, Arken. Only scope I've found to not need to do that is Nightforce
What app or site do you use to do your calculations?
What kind of groups will that tikka 7 mag consistently shoot? I have a browning a-bolt 7 mag that averages 1.5 moa. Wish I could get it down to 1 moa.
I’ve played around with a few different bullets to find the round the gun likes. At 100 right now I am sub 1 moa, and at 600 I’ve had shots that are an 2 or 3 inches apart. Overall for not have a 1 or half moa guarantee you gonna get your moneys worth out of it. I think some of the inconsistencies Ive had could be solved by getting away from the bipod or from myself. The gun is great
@@in_season_outdoors Bipod is your friend. I recommend sticking with it and a rear bag for practice and accuracy testing. Bipods are typically rock solid. I've been using them for 20 years. I used to do all bags but with my heart beat and breathing noticed the rifles were moving too much. And, I use a bipod when hunting. I don't use bags when trying to fill tags.
Trade your Browning in. I sold all mine and now own almost 20 Tikkas. Most of my rifles were custom built but when I finally got a tikka in my hands in 2022 for the first time, I never looked back and have sold several of my customs since the Tikkas shoot so well - especially with my handloads.
@@derekmcmurry I am debating going to 6.5 or 7 PRC from my 7 mag in an attempt to get more consistent accuracy. Is your experience with the tikka 7 rem mag that it will consistently shoot MOA with factory ammo? I know they have a MOA guarantee, but we all know those guarantees are pretty bogus. All they have to do is produce a single 3 shot group and they are good. For long range hunting 500 and beyond, ideally I need to be able to shoot 10 3 shot groups in a row (with cooling), superimpose them and have them all be within 1.0 - 1.5 MOA. That's really hard to do.
@@elkhuntr2816 Why not go in the middle and get a 270-7PRC? I've got all 3. My 270-7PRC shooting a 170 Berger VLD is now at 3230fps. Plug that into Berger's website calculator and you beat anything 6.5PRC but also beat a 7PRC with a 180 Berger VLD at 3000fps as well as the 195 EOL in a 7PRC at 2900fps. I'm seriously considering selling my 7PRCs and 6.5PRCs since my 270-7PRC has all of them whipped.
Regarding Tikka 7RemMag, yes. I have 2 I worked up loads for with 140 TSX and 150 TTSX. Every time I shoot, I get subMOA, not MOA, but SUB and often HALF or even QUARTER. Now keep in mind that's with my handloads and ridiculous brass prep. I have a ton of Tikkas for a reason. I think the main issue I hear time and time again about 7RemMag is how inefficient it is. Frankly I love all 3 of mine. Killed my biggest mule deer, 202", at 800 yards with my 26" Krieger/Stiller 7RemMag using 168 Berger VLDs over Retumbo at 3000fps. The 7RemMag is my first cartridge I ever shot and got one hole groups, literally, caliber sized hole with 3 shots. First one was a Trued Rem700 and a select match #4 Shilen with 150 Btips. The 2nd one is that one with the Krieger. So inefficient or not, I think I'll always on 7RemMags. But the 7PRC is nice. The 6.5PRC is nice and there's Lapua brass. But my new fav is the 270-7PRC hands down
What scope are you using?
I am using the vortex viper 4-16 x 44millimeter
