21:09 Same here. I had a Bergara B-14 HMR. They seemed to have a good reputation and I thought I sucked because the best I could shoot was about 1.2 MOA on average for 5-shot groups with the best handload I could work up for the rifle. With the factory ammo Bergara recommended I was getting ~1.5 MOA 5-shot groups. I got a Tikka CTR and on my first range session I couldn't believe the difference. I averaged under 0.5 MOA for 6 5-shot groups (30 shots total) with the first random load I tried in the gun. My Bergara made me think I sucked at shooting. It turns out the gun was a turd. BTW, I sent it back to Bergara twice to get it fixed. They never fixed it and the 2nd time they sent it back there was rust all over the bolt and inside the barrel. I asked for a refund since they damaged the gun but they accused me of lying and wouldn't respond to any of my e-mails/communications anymore. Anyway, I sold that piece of junk.
Almost 40 minutes-you must be kidding? Was my first thought,but here I am and I must admit that it was 40 really good and very informative 40 minutes I ever spent here on RUclips with this kind of videos. Thanks dude-you’re very good narrator!
Loved your first video on the Tikka. It made up my mind on buying it. Got it a few days later. Love shooting it. Thanks. Hope to see a 5000 round review. More videos. Congratulations with your personal life.
Love mine chambered in 6.5 CM. Loading 140 ELDM behind 42.3 gr H4350 with Lapua brass. Shooting sub-half MOA with 25 hot zero. This thing is a tac driver.
Great review. I bought mine cause of your last video and aiming to have a close set up. Appreciate the content and glad it’s family and kids time! Same here but we will shoot when we can 🎉 Peace and Gods blessings!
"This gun always leaves me smiling" Yep, that's how I feel about mine. In fact when I go to the range I always shoot it last because I always leave the range with a smile as with good ammo it always shoots 1/2moa ish.
As a lefty looking for a good gun with a reasonable price, the T3x TAC A1 still seems like the best option. I would love a SAKO TRG (which you can get a used one a bit cheaper than a new T3x TAC A1 here in Finland at the moment), but I'm repelled by the fact that the action comes only as right-handed.
I actually got this gun (in 260 rem) a few months ago as an intro gun to f-class. Still working up loads, but it's a blast to shoot and a bunch of friends are amazed with it too.
You are not seeing a 2 MOA target at 200 yards with your naked eye unless it contrasts against the background it's impressive for a new shooter to hit that on the first shot for sure.
Thank you friend for your videos.I want to buy that TIKKA in 308 win and i want to ask you if i could order it from the company with a 26" barrel and if you could advise me for a good silencer to reduse as much the noice.
I got the tikka upr, which is this exact gun, but with a stock instead of a chassis. It's lighter weight for hunting and I can also use it for competition. Can't go wrong with either of them. Shot a .25" group at 100 with berger 130gr hybrids. Good luck.
I forgot to cover that! That’s the Magpul RC2 tripod adapter. It allows it to click right into a manfrotto RC2 head. The ARCA rail is the more popular solution but more money. magpul.com/m-lok-tripod-adapter.html

Glad to see you doing another review on this great rifle. You inspired me to get this rifle and I have zero regrets

Thank you!!!!!
I love my T3X Tac A1. Looks like a great barrel upgrade even if unintended.

That means a lot. You’ll love it.
Welcome back
Gun stores where I live are still recommending the Tikka T3X TAC A1 package as being not only great value but a superb rifle. I just purchased one.
"This gun always leaves me smiling" Yep, that's how I feel about mine. In fact when I go to the range I always shoot it last because I always leave the range with a smile as with good ammo it always shoots 1/2moa ish.

They are basically the same gun.

Try some vihtavuouri N555 and berger hybrids. Amazing.
@@camonly849 I've tried (and was happy with) Hornady ELD 140 grn with H4350. Getting sub moa on everything and a good number are sub half moa.

Have you actually tried the Zero Compromise ZC527 scope?
Indeed. Abolish the ATF
Would you still recommend this rifle after five years vs. new offerings from other manufacturers?
Absolutely.

Which scope is that? Spelling and website please. Also the mounts are sweet!
It’s the Kahles K64i. www.kahles.at/us/sport/riflescopes/k624i-6-24x56i_us
He did say it in the video
@@JustAverageJeff thanks it's hard to hear. Appreciate your help.
Jesus demanding a bit? The scope has its name printed right on the dang side of it. i swear people have become lazier and lazier.
@@ttss5726 You literally took the time to comment that... I think you need Jesus. People want to Troll everything.
What pistol grip is that? What model? If you don’t mind
Magpul MIAD. I like it because it has inserts you can store things in.
Thanks for the update. What is the other thing you have bolted to the bottom of the handguard behind the short section of picatinny rail?
