Anybody had there hands on one, looks to be a nice setup. Looking for one in a 7mag.

I should have put this in the gun talk section! Can a moderator move it for me
I've handled one in 6.5cm. I'm not crazy about the OD green cerakote and the extended magazine but otherwise I like it. Oversized CTR bolt handle is a nice touch

Got lucky and found a 7mag so I ordered it.
Had a look at one in Edmonton last week....pretty nice rifle for sure!
Tikkas answer to the Hells Canyon I think....
I have one in .270, LOVE IT!
Already taken a 3 point blacktail with it. Picked it up for $1250 in a recent small sale at Reliable Gun.
It's shooting .45 inch groups with Hornady Precision Hunter at 100 yards. Interestingly it is hating Nosler 130gr. Worst group was almost 3 inches at 100 yards!!! Not sure if i just got a couple of shitty boxes. Remington core lokt 130gr coming in at 0.9 of an inch at 100.
With a Leupold vx3i, talley lightweight rings, a lightweight sling by Allen and with the brake attached it is weighing in at 7lbs dead. That is with no magazine inserted.
Only good things to say so far.
I'm sure you'll love it even more when you get some rounds down range.
I actually like the green cerakote. I'm thinking about having the bolt fluted and cerakoted the same colour.
I would be interested in hearing what kind of accuracy you get with the 7mm mag. I'm thinking about picking another one up in even 7mm or 300 mag
I have owned a Hells Canyon Speed and Tikka most definitely didn't come up short on this one.
Trigger on Tikka way nicer, coated stainless on Tikka vs. coated steel on Browning, the larger bolt knob on the Tikka is a bonus. Both guns have crappy plastic stocks.
