Help on Tikka build

[buzby]

Okay here it is.
It took about an hour to put together. I may need to adjust the LOP a bit but I figured I would first get it on paper and then go from there. It is very similar to my Tikka T3 in fit and finish but with the obvious elements of the CTR.
Thanks to everyone in the community that helped with there insights and suggestions, I am very grateful.

You hit this one out of the park. This is a great all around rifle. From punching paper or steel, to putting holes in game. Very capable setup

Chunky but not fat…I guess she can stay.

Okay I took the rifle to the range for the first time, here are the results.
Factory Hornady ELD-M 140 gr shot at 2660 ft/s instead of the box stated 2710 ft/s through my stock 23.7" stock tikka barrel.
I also shot some handloads to get the basics on speed and accuracy and I'm already shoot sub 1/2 moa.

I then took the rifle to the local gun range and shot prone for my first time ever.
This was at 500 yards and the second 5 shot group I took with Hornady Factory Ammo.

I know nothing about how to correct for wind.
As you can see it picked up as I was shooting and I attempted to holdover from shot 2 up.
I'm sure there is more accuracy in this rifle than what I've shot in the first 30 rounds.
Any rate I feel this will do the job in the ranges I plan on shooting.
Again, Everyone thanks for all of your help.

My Tikka out on a friend's property . Prone 5 shot group. hand load sub .75 MOA
There was a little bit of wind but look how flat the vertical spread was, that's some consistent velocities. I'm sure there is more accuracy in that gun. I learn so much every time I shoot longer ranges. I'm starting to see how it going to get a lot harder a little further beyond this distance.
I need to find other people in Maine that want to shoot NRL Hunter series. Steel sharpens steel.
