Finally got out to the range to sight in today and must say I'm impressed. At 12.8 lbs unloaded this rifle is incredibly comfortable to shoot, and between the rifle and chassis itself the controls are quick and intuitive to operate. The KRG AICS mags worked flawlessly and smoothly.
The tool-less buttpad height adjustment mechanism was sitting in my mailbox when I got home (they were backordered when I ordered everything else-go figure it gets here after I go to the range). Made some small adjustments to the foam in my Pelican 1750 to fit it; without any LOP spacers the tool less buttpad mechanism adds about 1/2" to the LOP-about the same as two spacers, so I took out the spacer I had in there. Once the Tikka specific cheekpiece is out and I can get another 1/4" out of the comb it will be perfect.
I got it all dialed in and included two groups that I fired after I sighted in. The first group is 7 rounds at about 1 MOA, and the second is 5 rounds with one flyer that opened it from about .6 to 1.5 MOA. That was all me though, I haven't shot scoped rifles in about 2 years so I definitely have room to improve and tighten things up, and the wind today didn't help.
Thunderhorse - How is the balance in the fairly lightweight KRG chassis? I know the varmint contour on the Tikka are hefty and am wondering.
Looks great all put together! congrats
