Default Tikka CTR

Bought the Tikka CTR. I also bought a GRS Bifrost stock and the MDT competition brake. ALL on good black friday sales.

During hunting season this year I used my recently passed fathers Husqvarna 30/06 It was nice and light for carrying but We saw harvestable animals out in that 600 to 700m range. It was a great way to honor his memory but Unfortunately this rifle just was not designed for that type of shot.

I have a 6.5 Creed Cadex Sheepdog I bought, thinking i might hunt with it but scoped it weighs 17.5 lbs. Its not practical for hunting but I enjoy it as a target gun. (its for sale) Most of my guns are more target focused. I realized I needed something I can use hunting that can reach out for the longer shots.

I have been drooling over the 7 PRC ballistics but honestly the 6.5 will do 80% of what the 7mm will do and I can get it now and start practicing with it.
