I finally got the my Leupold VX7 back from Leupold's repair and mounted it on the .300 BO. I also mounted the new Leupold VX-6 3-18x44 on custom Tikka 6.5 CM and made it out to the range.
Cloudy day with winds blowing 15 mph gusting over 20mph. I mounted the new Thunderbeast 7” suppressor on the 300 BO . Not the greatest setup for this as the mag really didn't fit well in my bull bag, but I made it work. 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 shot a 3-shot group. The group measured .364”

Lastly I shot a 3-shot group at 200 yards with the Tikka. 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. The back stop was a new 4’ square piece of plywood. No other holes in it minus my two holes. I’ll take the group. My rifle really shot great today
