Introducing The Tikka Roughtech Ember! WOW THIS RIFLE!

[@motopilot74]

I got this exact rifle recently. I chose the Athlon HELOS BTR GEN2 2-12×42 scope as I'll be primarily hunting hog and deer. I'm still dialing my scope in, but getting .5 groups right now at 100yrds. I set my trigger down as low as it would go and getting about 2.5lb trigger pull. Definitely zero take up and crisp break. I've never had a trigger quite like this as I'm used to some take up, so that is a bit getting used to, but no complaints at all. I think you'd be hard pressed to find another rifle like this one or even better. I'll have this rifle for the rest of my life.

[@kimherrick9615]

I have T3s in 338WM & 300WM, I love them, tiny little groups. I have a friend that just got a 6.5CM for his wife took 2 whitetails in Michigan this year, another Tikka that shoots very accurately.

[@PNWild]

Nailed it, this thing shoots amazing groups right from the factory! That’s awesome!

[@bp814]

I've had better results with scope mounting by cross torquing the clamshells to the mounts. Helps to even stress a little better. Just a tip from an old timer.

[@leonardogarcia2506]

For a much better and lighter trigger pull, I used a M carbo trigger spring. I highly recommend it!!!! I was able to adjust it down to 2 lbs with the trigger screw threaded in a lot. Best part is it was only $12. Huge upgrade for a tikka.

[@stevelerch27]

Just wondering why you don't mount the scope without a rail? Is it spacing? The rail just adds one more step and one more thing to loosen.

Me too! Crazy story, they have such great customer service at Bass Pro that after about a half hour price matching the black with the camo we both agreed it was just lipstick on a pig and she honored the price match. Saved $150 which did seem excessive for a camo job. Seems this is one of the last industries that works with people who have integrity and use discression.
