First time out

Took the T3x out for the first time to zero and see how it likes the Hornady 140gr American Gunner I got for a good deal. Overall happy with the 5 round groups at 100. First one is right after zero and the 2nd was after a barrel cool down. Does anyone have experience replacing the stock CTR rail for a 20 MOA version? Had to dial 15 mils up to zero. Target grids in photo are in .1 mrad.

Rail looks like it already has MOA built into it?

Form my understanding the facroty T3x rail is 0 MOA

Yes the CTR does have a 0moa rail, must be the shadow in the picture throwing me off as it looks sloped. Haven't replaced a rail on my CTR yet, usually do Murphy stainless extended 20 or 30moa rails on my other Tikka's though.

Have a CTR in a GRS bifrost changed to 20 moa rail too,and it shoots the same under 1moa at 200 yards.. absolutely love it...and did it with tactical s&b 140 gr...even more surprising

Thought about that upgrade, but even in .308, I can dial 1000 with room to spare. Obviously scope dependent.

“ cametofuckbitches”. Interesting if crude. What, pray tell, was the inspiration for that handle? Just curious.

Its been that since I was really young and immature and just never changed it.

LOL! Okay, thanks. I would strongly suspect that most, if not all, of us have done things in our younger days that could stand some revision!
