This is undoubtedly one of the best RUclips channels out there. You're consistently putting out good information.
Great production value too, considering you probably don't make any money off of this.
I appreciate it man. No money is made on these.
Kinetic Consulting your work is deeply appreciated.
That’s a FANTASTIC rifle!!!! For an off-the-rack rifle it’s a tack driver.
.5 MOA gun out of the box . Makes a thousand yard shots EASY . This is probably the best bang for your buck out of the box precision Bolt action rifle on the market and I don't even think it's close .
Bought one in 2018. Super, super, super accurate right out of the box. Originally i had a Steiner T5xi 5-25x56 with SCR reticle on it. First time i tried to hit a milk jug at 1,000 yards i used the holds at 18x. I aimed at a clay pigeon in the burm and my DOPE was high so i adjusted my hold and literally hit the jug on the very first shot. Crazy. That was at a range, deep in the forest in GA. I have since moved out to the desert about 3+ yrs ago. Since moving here, i have learned how to shoot in the wind. Totally different experience compared to GA. Way, way harder.
Now i have a NF ATACR 7-35x56 with Mil-XT reticle on the Tikka. Just a Totally Awesome optic all the way around... including that reticle.
I have hit a soda can at 1,006 yards in 3 shots. I have hit a soda can at 1,380 yards in 14 shots in a 15mph 90 degree cross wind and horrible mirage. I have made all kinds of crazy, difficult shots with the Tikka Tac A1. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Mine is 6.5CM. Don't let the haters dissuade you from the caliber. It is a tremendous caliber.
The most recent awesome thing i did... which was not to long ago... was i decided to go for a 5 shot group at 750 yards across a valley and i kid you not... 0.477 MOA or 3.58". I was astonished at how i did... first and only attempt as well. The videos of both soda can hits and the 5 shot, sub 1/2 MOA group at 750 yards are all posted to Long Range Shooters of Utah.
I was going to start a channel and put it on as many social media platforms as made sense... but the BLM recently shut down the area i have been shooting the last 3 yrs so i'm really not sure what i'm going to do now. I'm a former US Army Ranger.... i was going to cover some combat medicine... long range shooting... a few reviews of things i like and use in the tactical realm.... but now i may just can all that since my shooting area is no more.
Let me also say this... Because the Tikka Tac A1 was so awesome... i purchased a Tikka T3x Super Varmint in 6.5 PRC. The accuracy is nowhere near as awesome as the Tac A1. best i got with 3 different kinds of ammo was 1MOA with Norma Golden Target, which was the slowest of the 3. The whole point of the PRC is that it should shoot about 200 fps faster than a CM, "in theory". Mine wasn't doing that. After all, Tikka's are notoriously "SLOW" shooters. I decided to put "lipstick on a pig" and literally purchased a $1.5k MDT ACC Premier chassis. The accuracy.... well, it didn't improve. So for ALL of you thinking you'll just tinker with the T3X.... go for it... but the Tac A1 with it's heavy ass, rock solid chassis... is where it's at for accurately shooting in the prone or bench... personally, i like shooting in the prone... as i would in the field. If you want PRS balance for obstacles... knock yourself out and get a chassis. I will continue putting lipstick on a pig since i'm going to use this new PRC as my hunting rifle and i'll be getting a Proof Carbon Fiber barrel for it. That should improve accuracy AND speed. I also have to say that i hate the fluted bolt on the Super Varmint. It's wobbly and sloppy feeling. The Tac A1 is rock fucking solid and smooth as silk. I tend to think a wobbly bolt like that may affect accuracy negatively.
Great info, you have the 20 or 24" barrel? I'm in Canada (former army recce) and looking to pick this up, 20" + folding butt is attractive for mobility but not sure how much I'm leaving on the table not going with the 24"
@@junglemastah 24 all the way because i want to be able to shoot as far as i possibly can. Like i said, Tikka's are notorious for having slow barrels. You should check out an old "snipers hide" video here on youtube.
Not sure if you'd want to spend the money but if you really want the shorter barrel, Frank i think his name is from Snipers Hide did some videos on the Tac A1 back when they first came out. He bought a Bartlein barrel for his with a Left hand gain twist. He either matched or gained speed and now has a shorter barrel than the stock 24". I'm not sure what the accuracy is like on it but i'm sure it's pretty damn good.
His was .260 Remington though. The video is definitely worth watching.

@@rascalmatt6713 awesome thx man yea gonna go with 24" no sence in handicapping it for a few inches and a lbs and rather put the money towards glass. Cheers 🍻
@@junglemastah That's what i recommend. After all, this is not a hunting rifle, it's a precision rifle. If you're able to get out and shoot "long range", you'll be very happy with this rifle. Don't skimp on glass either.
You'll LOVE your set up.
Mine shoots 130 grain Norma and 130 grain Federal GMM lights out. That being said, every barrel is different.
One of the best shooting rifles I have ever seen. 1/4 inch groups at 100yards.
Great choice mate! I picked one up in 6.5 about 2 years ago for $1400...best money I ever spent. Absolute tack driver!
Yo MBA, real shiz! Love how humble you are and your desire to always be the student! #dobetter
Hey as a sniper first thing I noticed was your trigger finger try to get it to have a 90 degree angle and press with the soft part of the tip of your finger. Breathing take a few deep breaths take lungs full of air. Stop at around half pf your lungs and then shoot. I wouldn't personally breathe while pulling the trigger. Other than that you're looking pretty good, your bolt work is fast=good and you hold the trigger after the shot. Well done for a beginner.
As a sniper should you be telling him that his rifle was not free and rapid firing this gun will no doubt render the barrel useless in no time. If you want to keep your barrel in working order for longer, allow cool down after the 5th round. If you join the war and have an unlimited amount of rifles like sniper Steve here then blast away.
@@bignastywang90 Sorry boss can't shoot that guy ordering artillery fire on our position gotta save the barrel. It's a cold hammer forged barrel it will take it. Ballistics are affected by the burn rate of the powder as the barrel heats up, not by the barrel bending like a limp dick after a few shots. Idk what coca cola can barrels you have but i've raped my one and only .338 service rifle enough to know that sako wont fold. After being tossed around, sat on, frozen, bolt rusting and "rapid fired" but that bitch still shoots 3 rounds touching no effort at 100m.
Can't go wrong with Tikka. I absolutely love mine.
Nice set-up! I'm new to long range precision shooting as well. I was gonna get a Ruger Precision but a buddy of mine suggested getting this rifle instead and I'm very pleased with the results. I still got a lot to learn but one of the nice things about having a rifle like this is whenever performance isn't quite so swell, I know it's undoubtedly me and not the rifle.
Thanks for video! Part of Beretta now, but still rifle from Finland ❤️🇫🇮
Okay, to those watching this... this is the BEST out of the box Precision rifle out there.. want something very close quality wise, the the Tikka CTR in 24” in 6.5 creedmore... you’re welcome
I have the same Finnish Beast and the funny thing is that there's nothing "starter" about any Tikka/SAKO. Beretta scored a big one buying the best of Finland under their flag. However, SAKO was the mfg for the rifle world's deadliest sniper used == Simo Hayha. Long tradition in FIN to touch hearts and minds from long distances. 😉
I’m saving up for the 20” T3X CTR in 6.5, but I love the look of the tac a1 chassis.
Almost did a ctr but realized for the similar price I can get more adjustment
@@KineticConsulting similar? Its a $750 difference lol
@@thisguygotgame4710 that's adjustment 😉
OMG!! I have been doing much research on getting my first bolt gun in .308 and I have been eye balling that tikka T3x tac a1 and now you uploaded this video!! Love the set up! Thinking about going with the 20” barrel tho!
Made in the same factory as Sako which are one of the best bolt rifles on the market for the money..
A Zeiss optic on that rifle would be sweet !
I agree I have the tikka t3x with ziess v4 I love it
Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to explain all aspects of this rifle. I just took delivery of that rifle yesterday and now I need to determine most appropriate scope,
Bipod, etc…. This was helpful. I’ve shot competition with handguns for years, now migrating to rifle as well.
Can you do a video talking through the entire process of how you bought your various suppressors? I am interested in getting them but really don’t even know where to start.
I can, but the process is very easy. Silencershop has a very detailed description on the process on their website
Kinetic Consulting thanks
I just got my TIKKA, T3X LITE, BOLT ACTION RIFLE, 6.5 CREEDMOOR, 24.38" FLUTED BARREL, 1:8 TWIST, THREADED 5/8X24, VEIL WIDELAND CAMO, SYNTHETIC STOCK, CERAKOTE BARREL AND ACTION, BURNT BRONZE COLOR and I love it is a great smooth shooting gun
@masonmiller How heavy is your rifle? Is it a good compromise between prs and hunting? I really would like a “hybrid” type Tikka for this purpose. Maybe CTR?
Any chance for an update and share what you have learned in your journey. Currently looking at the Tikka T3X TAC A1 for a similar experience; however, I am still undecided between the 6.5 Creedmore and the .308. In addition, this thing in 6.5 is rather scare at the moment. Needless to say, your rationale on the .308 makes good sense. I do like the choice of the Leupold MARK 5HD 5-25X56 Scope and the BADGER ORDNANCE 35mm 1.54" 20 MOA Modular Mount might be a good choice for my needs. Currently leaning towards the Banish 30 suppressor and the Accu-Tac FC-4 or FC-5 bipod. Anyways thanks for sharing the information on your setup and experience with this rifle--it has been helpful.
Awesome setup, what Atlas bipod did you buy? I am trying to build a similar set up as you.
Enjoyed the video and the range footage! Nice shooting. I have the Tikka in 6.5 cr with the same thunderbeast 7 suppressor. I have the vortex gen 2 razor (which is great but heavy). I really want a clip-on night vision optic. You said yours is a pvs-27. Is this what you would recommend? I would like to keep the weight down due to my vortex.
What is that part your LEFT thumb is resting on? 9:51? I've been looking all over to see what it is.
It's just part of the chassis
secondary sling mounting point.
Awesome stuff as always. Did Landfair convince you to get one?
Thanks. Nah, he didn't.
I think that is a good scope choice. It's the same scope I'm looking to upgrade to. Nice setup.
Have you tried different bags? Which ones worked if so. Def interested in what packs you’ve found that work.
What model is your atlas bipod? Did you play around with any arca mounts? Wondering what kind of arca mount would you recommend?
I can't remember the model number. It's the one that doesn't have rotating feet. I personally don't like arca bipod mounts. The slide on occasion during recoil.
Even though creedmoor has much better ballistics, what you could do is to shoot smaller targets. It is still subject to the same laws of gravity so if you test it against a smaller Target you will experience similar effects. And you will have a better round. This is not an absolute truth, just my opinion. I choose very small targets and it works
These are precisely my thoughts when I hear this .308 vs. 6.5 Creedmoor argument. Just use a smaller target and the level of challenge will be similar
Slick set up man. The short configuration with a suppressor looks bad. I’m mad I didn’t jump on the Eurooptic sale during summer.
Hope you're doing well
Thanks for the video
Where can i get this sling setup for mine? I know you said railscales for the front, and assuming you went with the QDX, but what about the rear attachement? WHere is it from?
It's the Frank Proctor sling. You can get it off his website.
Did you have an magazine issues? I’m really interested in this rifle however the mag issues scare me for the 308 variant
I didn't, I heard of them but both of mine function
Question about parallax adjustment. Say your target is at 350, and you have a 300 and 400 parallax adjustment marks. Where do you dial? Or will the adjustments allow areas between marks?
What the numbers on don't usually correlate. It depends on what you're seeing and when you confirm by checking parallax in different ways.
sick setup bro
Will a 1.50 height mount with 20 MOA cant fit on this without touching the rail with a scope cove on just wondering because yours is 1.54 without a 20 moa cant and it looks like it fits nicely Thanks
Probably will fit since that will lift the front of the scope 20 moa
@KineticConsulting Thanks for responding been very difficult deciding on a mount and bipod
Do you recommend to break in the bbl or is it useless?
I didn't. Just shot 60rds cleaned the carbon and then keep going
@@KineticConsulting thanks.
Started with Tikka CTR in 308 but thinking of trading up.
What’s the thread pitch on the barrel? About to buy one and wondering what adapter I need to fit my silencer.
5/8x24
Mine in 6.5 creedmoor is 5/8 at least.
What’s the ring height of your mount? 1.54” or 1.70”?
1.54
I love mine man. ❤️
What muzzle brake is that?
Do You have any problems with rifle after time? Maybe like in Sage dynamics video about this gun He point some problems with magazine?
I haven't had any issues. If anything it's become smoother
@@KineticConsulting Thank's! And regards from Poland!
For me Tac A1 price was to high Im a poor guy. But I got it. When I end my 40 years on this planet, I just could not resist ;-)
Worth the price imo
@@KineticConsulting I know so price is great over all, poor man like sniper, have only one shot, one small box of money to use only ones, to cry also only ones and then all what left it is smile :-)
Great set up did you purchase the Condition one with 20 MOA or Zero?
I didn't. I don't need the extra 20moa for this rifle and caliber.
Thank you for the response would you add the 20 MOA on a 6.5 CM with a Leupold Mark 5 HD 7-35 x 56 on the Tikka? Thanks again
@@josephmorffi3755 you really don't need it unless you're exceeding a mile from my knowledge.
@@KineticConsulting thanks keep up the great work on the videos. Any new improvements made on the Tikka? I am definitely interested...
@@josephmorffi3755 all I've done since is get a slightly smaller scope mk5 3x18 and change to a spuhr mount
How much does it weigh without the scope? Nice setup!
Not sure. I'm sure their website can give you that spec
Cant decide if I want this or the Steyr SSG04 !
What distances this 16"-barrel are good?
he said in the video, 800m is about the maximum in 308 before the cartridge/barrel combo start to lack.
Did you buy a small MLOK to Picatinny rail or did you buy Atlas’s MLOK mount?
Separate pic mount
You okay? Tired? Take care.
Yeah, exhausted lol
What kind of desi are you ?
I don't know what Desi is
Bro, did you smoke opium before recording the video? Why are you so slow and chill man? :D
Maybe I was exhausted
Tac is all cool and all.
But it weighs like a pig compared to CTR Lite.
11 pounds empty
You're bi-pod is facing the wrong way lol
It's not. The atlas folds in both directions. I fold it towards the magwell when I store it in the bag for a smaller profile.
