LOL - that is exactly what I was thinking as this guy is shooting off the dining room table ..... 'MERICA !!!!!

The reason Tikka/Sako barrels do not need to be broken in is because these barrels do not have their riflings machine cut in. They are cold hammer forged into the barrel. With a jig inside the barrel. Still never a bad idea to run a quick patch before first fire. After that go to town. No need to clean between shots as there is no machining inside these barrels.

Wife and I are house hunting right now and I'm gonna have to update the criteria a bit, 'must be able to shoot from dining table' is definitely a must. Great review 👍

Tikka and Sako barrels dont need running in.....and that's from one of the bosses at the Sako factory ...he says "they're ready to go from new"😉....all barrels and chambers are inspected before assembly for any Mark's or defects ..

Tikka is by far my favorite rifle. Smooth actions, tight groups and excellent quality…

Wow what a boss! He’s shooting out of his kitchen on his dinning table! 👍👍 gonna ask my wife if I can do this too..🤣🤣🤣

Don’t ask the wife. It’s better to beg for forgiveness than to ask permission. Or, do like I do, and wait until she’s at work 😜

The Tikka barrels are Cold Hammer Forged so the bores will be clean and smooth from the factory. Tikka guarantees 3rd groups for 1MOA, they’ll do 5rd groups for 1MOA for the T3X TACT and Varmint rifles - same as Sako’s standard. Something to consider with the Hornady ammo, I tried 5 or 6 types of Hornady alone in my Tikkas, they generally like the Match line and do well with the Black line as well. Great review.

Lol thanks man, the weather was a little on the bitter side, so I opened a screen on the other side of the room to get better ventilation while doing this. Plus, the dining room table is a bit closer to the coffee pot than my shooting bench.

Best review on the rifle.

I about lost it when I saw him shooting in the living room. Nice!!

Considering my local laws, I spent 4 years choosing a riffle and settled on a T3 CTR in .308. I wanted the Super Varmint with heavy barrel, but no bueno. I have a hunting licensed gun that has never gone hunting, it's a med PSR riffle that I took @ 1600 meters competition and finished 19th out of 23! Great barrel out the box, stock stock sux, action is smooth as silk after 100+ rounds and trigger is adjustable (mine is 420 grams, stock trigger), great riffle. The Super Varmint is a tad better due to barrel thickness and length, however no picatiny, no muzzle thread, same messed up stock. So extra costs of configuration. I believe Tikkas are best bang for buck, at least where I am, although Bergara is giving them a run for the money with the B-14, however I hate the the REM-700 trigger/safety. Bergara Spain is a barrel manufacturer, they make great barrels , backed by a rem 700 action/trigger, the premier series is something to look at. Bergara premier series is a bit more expensive than a T3x stock. I just love the trigger of the Tikka out the box, however the Bergara premier comes with an aftermarket trigger group (based on Rem 700) and they add a bit of bedding in the stock out the box. Just beware, the Tikka CTR is between barrels profiles, it's not a super varmint, but comes with most accessories out the box. P.s. The Tikka T3x Super Varmint is the gun to get, than modify it. ,,,,or a Bergara Premier, if you have the money

So true what you say… Got myself a .308 CTR SS 20”, just because the Super Varmint wasn’t available at the time. Now I ordered the Super Varmint in 300WM. Still keeping the CTR 🤪

Nicely done video with practical common sense techniques for new rifle break in and testing procedure. Great information for the average shooters, especially newer ones. Obviously not your first rodeo. Like the way you roll... I have a shooting bench in the upstairs bedroom for sniping squirrels in the orchard. I'm currently considering a CTR in .308 (wind cheater) because the T3x Varmint in .223 I bought a couple years ago will put 10 Federal 69g GMM under a dime at 100 and a quarter at 200. Tikka delivers great value. The CTR in a KRG Bravo chassis, the UPR, and a Sako S20 Precision are the finalists. Thank you for your contribution.

There are no tooling marks from machining (as you stated) in a hammer forged barrel my friend. And the debris on the very first patch you ran is more than likely from the two test fire rounds fired at the test bench in the factory. In my humble opinion.

@DialingLongDistance

2 жыл бұрын

You are correct in my opinion. The only place there might be any tooling marks, may be from the chambering process, in which case that would only be (to my knowledge) in he throat area. I don’t think the chambers are hammer forged, (again, I could be wrong), I believe the bores are. Either way, ‘breaking in’ the barrels on all my rifles is something I’ve just done out of habit. Most of the time, I’m not sure of the processes used to make the rifle barrels the manufacturers use, so I just do it on my own. Even still, allot of people don’t break in any barrel, they just go out and shoot them, and allot of the time, they shoot great anyway 🤷🏼‍♂️

@admscoo622

As per the Tikka manual at the factory they shoot two overpressure cartridges in order for the rifle to pass CIP testning (equivalent of SAAMI testing) followed by some regular Sako FMJ rounds for the accuracy test (I'd guess 3 or 5 rounds) so 5-7 rounds fired before being shipped off to the vendor/retailer

My man, zeroing from his kitchen table!

Because they are a Hammered fluted barrel there are no burrs to speak of... hence they require no break in and yes they were fired at Factory not quite brand new. I've seen it!

I think the last couple of shots you were not entirely happy with was because you do not take into calculations of the dining room crosswind which occurs occasionlly haha

No machining dust inside that barrel. The rifle is test fired in the factory. They're also not machines barrels

Barrel break time n is BS!! Great rifle!!

I typically cook in my kitchen, but hey… to each their own! Good video though! Thanks.

A good plan for break-in is to use the longest and slowest bullets you can get for your caliber.

I may have missed this in the vid but is this chambered in 6.5 creedmoor?

Nice rifle

Thank you 😊

Why is the first screw (from barrel muzzle end) on the picatinney rail unscrewed?

Cold hammer forged barrels don't need a break in. There's no Sharp edges in that process.

Not from rifling, but I always thought that there would be tooling from chambering, where the throat meets the rifling. (?)🤷🏼‍♂️ I always liked the idea of breaking in any barrel, for the sake of things like that, no matter the process of it’s making. It’s habit for me.

Hey I'm interested to know why you shoot right handed when you are left handed? Is it awkward with the action? Please get back to me if I can as I'm left handed looking to buy a left handed Tikka ctr BUT IF i can go right handed and save money that would help. Thank you!

All rifles have been fired before an owner receives it. First by the factory and, in most countries, by someone at a ‘proof house’ to ensure our safety.
