Put 60 rounds through my new Tikka CTR SS in .308 today. Three different boxes, three different loads. Below are two groups, with the smaller being my best of the day, and the larger with my worst. The larger group was with some random off the shelf BTHP, which the rifle did not love, but we still got a couple decent groups out of it.
Question: I am coming from hunting rifles, and this is my first rifle of this type. The bolt seems a bit stiff when pushing it down to lock it into battery. It was not so stiff that it was alarming, but I am curious if others have had this experience? The bolt stiffness was not ammo specific, but did seem worse with the above mention group the rifle did not like.
