I finally got the scopes on the .300 BO and the Leupold VX-6 3-18x44 on the Tikka 6.5 CM. I got the Leupold VX7 2X7 back from Leopold’s repair center.
Cloudy day with winds blowing 15 mph. The .300BO shot fairly well. I mounted the new Thunderbeast 7” suppressor on it. Not the greatest setup for it but it worked. If the winds weren’t blowing so hard, the groups would tighten a tad. For a pig gun at the ranch it shot just fine

Now my custom Tikka 6.5 CM shot lights out. Once I had it sighted in I switched to a new target and took three shots. The group measured .364”

Lastly I shot a 3-shot group at 200 yards. I wanted to measure the drop. I was aiming for the X. My ballistic program had me right at a 4” drop. There were only two holes in the target. The one in the blue is slightly larger than the one in the white. New 4’ square plywood up. No other holes in it minus my two holes. I’ll take the group. Rifle’s shot great today.

Distance is not an issue, but the wind can make it interesting!
