i knew a guy with a 6mm tika and watched him place 6 shots in a 3 inch grouping at 200 yards with ease from what i've seen tika's are a very good gun. i how ever bought a a Browning BLR .270 lever action about 3 years ago and have it doing about the same. in fact the first deer i shot with it was also my first headshot at about 140 yards across a clear cut south of Drayton Vally Alberta i have since moved to south eastern Sask and have yet to try the hunting here. should be good
put him down withought second guessing, I got a .270 remmington and was wondering if a 150 grain ballistic would have the knock-down for elk and or moose? aswell as wild boar and maybe bear? please respond thanks.
The key to your putting down any of the animals you mention will ultimately be shot placement. Rutting animals will be a little bit harder in that they are pretty pumped and therefore a little more resilient to a shot - but then a shot in the vitals is still a shot in the vitals and will drop them either way - but the distance may differ somewhat. For those large thicker skinned animals like moose & Wapiti (Elk) just be sure to place it in the lungs. A Bear the same. Soft points may be better!
Nice shot! Gotta love the straight trajectory of the .270. I haven't had much use for one yet, as I tend to hunt a lot of bush like the Kawekas and Ruahines, and most shots are around 30 meters or less once I've stalked up, and the .270 tends to go straight through. Going to hunt Fiordland for a week in the roar though, so maybe then. I have a question, would you prefer to hunt with a T3 or Browning A-bolt (in .270) would love a Sako but way out of my price range unfortunately..
I have no issues with the Tikka at all - it's hard to compare to the Browning in-so-far as I haven't consistently used one. Had a casual go at a Browning but nothing more than that and certainly not enough to make a judgement call on.
nice shot, quick & clean. iv just bought a winchester .270, not got it zero'd in yet, my dad has a .270 & my best shot to date is a fox @185m from the shoulder (no rest).
Oh, that was gorgeous. Very clean, and very fast!

An animal the size of a fox from 185 metres off the shoulder is pretty good shooting by my calculations.
