new tika t3x lite 6.5cm

[Javelin]

so I had posted about looking for a new lightweight 300 win mag however I decided I needed to upgrade my 6.5cm instead. picked up a stainless t3x at cabelas day before thanksgiving and mounted a vortex viper I had laying around. shot it today and could only get this much disappointing group at 100 yards. any recommendations on how I can tighten my group up this is just unacceptable

That’s pretty nice for an out of the box bang stick. May end up grabbing one of those Tikas in 300 one day.

Nice. What ammo was that?

143 eldx factory stuff.

Makes sense. That stuff shoots awesome in my 6.5 tikka. If you want a cheap factory load, the federal nontypical 140s (same as blue box) shoot same as my eldx inside 300 yds

I would be satisfied with that

That sounds like a winner. It's easy to epoxy bed it yourself in that stock. Just follow GunBlue490's tutorial on youtube. Part 1 and 2 below

I think you need to send it over to me with a bill of sale! I can tighten them badboys up! !

[lglidewell]

Lol!! Yup, terrible group! It looks just like mine after the barrel got chopped, recrowned and threaded!

You can save a little if you buy the blued if you’re planning on cerakote.

Yep, you can get them on Buds for under $600

Great group. Wish I had a tikka, but my cheap t/c compass 6.5 shoots too well to upgrade.
