Tikka CTR - Found my new .308

[Aster]

The Scout has that, the Hawkeye has a fixed narrow pad.

[boyou]

Ah, my bad.

[Pilch]

My Tikka is chambered in 7mm-08 and I'm shooting 120gr or 140gr loads with it, so recoil isn't ferocious.

Not ferocious? Those 120gr must be pretty soft...

[Lorgar]

Yeah they aren't bad at all.

It's all relative too I suppose.

I went from shooting 150gr loads with more powder in my .308 with a crap pad to 120gr and 140gr with a better bad so it was an improvement in a lot of ways.

I don't do much at the range with it, but it would be find to shoot all day.

Ok I also found out the C.A.O.L. in the mag will be 2.67"

[Prios]

Quite short then...

[RDobber]

Usually you can go .01 or .02 longer than factory spec in the Tikka mags.

Wonder why they went the other way with the CTR...

[Lorgar]

Yeah, the longest cartridge my 7mm-08 Tikka Hunter magazine will take is 2.820"

Up from 2.8" coal according to most books.

I'm hoping its a mistake I asked the Beretta USA on Youtube and that was the response I got.

Will have to wait till a few are in circulation and people have shared what COAL they're using I guess.
