[QUOTE="Starbuck, post: 2530641, member: 120719"] 1:11. I'd rather it were even faster, but it really likes just about any 180 I stuff in it, and it does fine, not great, with the ELD-X 200's. I generally stick with the 180's in it. Trajectory doesn't change a whole lot over the heavies until the distance is further than what I'd personally shoot at a game animal , anyway - 800+. Didn't even intend to leave it a 300; was originally going to turn it into a fast twist .284. but it cuts near one hole groups with a couple different loads and bullets I tried in it, so didn't care to mess with it. I have more costly guns and more costly scopes, but the Tikka/LRHS combo has really grown on me. Still planning a fast .284. Just haven't decided on a Tikka, one of the 700 actions I have on the shelf, or something else. Leaning towards 7mm rem in a 700 for max COAL. Being a lefty, choices are more limited. I did recently order an Altitude stock for the Tikka from Mesa Precision. I also have MT bottom metal and MT billet mags for it. [/QUOTE]
