I finally got a chance to shoot my new Tikka CTR with Chad's 140 Amax ammo. Took me 3 rounds at 50 and 2 at 100 to hit zero. This was my first 3 shot group at 100. Very impressed with the factory trigger. Happy with this group for an all stock rifle. I put a Burris XTR II 4-20x50 on it. This was shooting from a bench with a Harris Bipod and sand bag for the butt stock.  ]

That's the same scope I have, how do you like it? I like it. Lot of scope for the money. Glass is very good. I've only been able to run mine from 100-500 in 100 increments. Dialed every increment several times then went back to zero and fired my last shot of the day & it was right there with the first 3 where I confirmed zero. I need to stretch it on out... Very nice. I'm going to have to get one of those scopes. Do it. You won't be disappointed!!!!

Gotta like that. I have it in .308. Adjusted trigger and added Triad Tactical stock pack for a good cheek weld and called it good. Great hunting rig.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Very Nice. I too have a new Tikka CTR T3x 20" blued with a Vortex Razor Gen I and shooting Chad's 140 grain Berger Hybrid. Love it! I agree with JG that it will do better than your first group. Out of the box sweet shootin. I've stretched mine to 500 so far and next weekend plan to work out to 1000. Congrats on very fine rig.

I love my CTR! Mine is topped with a 4-20x50 Burris Veracity. My first range outing after sight in produced the below group with factory Hornady 140 amax ammo.
