over size bolt handle is a must have for 30-06 especially for blue barrel and composite stock, it feels even lighter than the original one

Very nice gun, I reckon that the Tikka sights are some of the best iron sights out there, what do you think of the scope?

tikka battue's iron sight is a little too thick(good thing is easy to see at low light) but still can blow the soft drink can at about 25 meters easily

2-7x33 or 3-9x40 scope looks alright on it and works fine

try to find the best charge for it but 50 meter shooting range is not good enough, looks like 45.8gr is good

a friend gave me 3.5kg 2208 and the TBF 150 projectile seems no supply issue, so give them a try
this is 3 shot, looks ok, will try 5 shot to double check
150gr TBF projectile, 48.2gr AR2208 CCI primer OAL 3.185
