[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1119344, member: 5219"] Thanks for the comment Howco, I guess that price isn't THAT bad. Perhaps the term dearly is not warranted. The rifle in question is shooting 150 ballistic tips. The rifle owner is new to rifles. I thought it might be in his and his girlfriend's best interest to get them into shooting without dealing with excessive recoil. That Tikka light IS light at just over 6 lb naked. So far best it shot was 3/4" four shot group at 100. He says his girlfriend has a coues wt hunt this fall and will use this rifle. He thought they wouldn't shoot much past 350 yds. I suggested both of them shoot at some steel or water jugs at intended distance to see if they are capable. I suppose 3/4" groups are not too bad. I might try long seating to see if the gun will respond before altering it to shoot as a repeater from a 30-06 magazine box. I did find a forum with a thread on this topic after I asked the question here: [url=http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/archive/index.php/t-1027493.html]How to use long action magazines in a short action Tikka T3 [Archive] - Calguns.net[/url] Just wanted to hear from anyone who made this mag box switch before doing it.
