Wow! Nice setup. I love shooting Eley but rarely do. It is certainly cost prohibitive. I would guess your deviation reduced when you made the switch to the Talley rings. You are certainly wringing every bit of accuracy out of it. We have a lot of “league” shooters who rock Tikkas Almost a cult like following, they are passionate about their loyalty and enthusiasm around the brand. And their scores reflect it. The 22 rifle league is by far our most popular division. Nice rifles. They badgered me into picking one up, so I bought a 223 bone stock Tikka bolt gun and competed against all the bench rest scope boys this last year and did quite well. Many were pissed. It was a hoot. All the 22 guys were cheering me on much to the derision of the Centerfire crowd.
