The greater the gap between the bore line and the crosshair, the greater the angle to match the divergence to the point of impact. I usually zero first at about 30 paces and this is on at about 150. At 100 I'm about an inch high. At about 300 I know that IF ( On a very rare occasion ) I fire, that if I put the crosshairs on the spine the bullet goes right through the engine room. Eighty is more my favoured distance. Now if I were to lift the scope up about a foot rather than the normal 1.5 inches the divergence of trajectory would be massive. You beastly heretic. I'll have to find my cricket box. Loads of info on the web that can describe it better than me. Quote Link to post

I'm not questioning your right to do as you please, it was why you replaced it. You could paste some wallpaper on it of Boris Johnson if you like but will it shoot more accurately. £50 that's a slab of 12 g clay carts. Quote Link to post

Nice stock. Not sure the barrel matches although it looks expensive and would look great on the right stock. Whoever, configured that rifle had some money.

Not a lot wrong with it , but found the groups not exactly what I expected at 100 yards . Groups about 1 .5” , may be a little bit less , but now a real tight group . I have read a lot on tikka HMR and groups and most say with a after market stock , groups tighten right up and they certainly have , bullet on bullet at 75 yards Quote Link to post
philpot 4,916 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 The Tikka rimfires are good guns but I am the first to say the stock is not great in terms of the fit to the shooter. I have fitted a new grip and beaver tail forend add-ons which have improved the FEEL of the gun in the shoulder but I would also buy a new stock if pension allowed. I have used a Tikka with a GRS Breserk stock and what a difference, I will be keeping an eye open for one as time goes by and funds build back up. Phil Quote Link to post
