After getting a Squat AQT score of 220 with the Victor Faxon Vortex 10/22 rifle, I decided to shift the Vortex portion of the 10/22 build to my Tikka T1x. Its rail has a couple extra slots so I can get the scope far enough forward without having the front scope ring dangling off the edge.
Went to zero and I had to come down about 20 minute of angle. Hmmm, I don’t recall installing a 20 MOA rail. A Talley base…well I’ll be…it does look like the front is about 20/1000ths lower than the rear.
Shooting all four stages of the AQT squatting, I only managed a 195. Not good enough. I think the Tikka needs a cheek riser that I can sink into. The Vortex setup is slightly taller than the Weaver V3 that I had been running. Rather than blame my marksmanship skills, I’m going to assert that the squatting position is heavily dependent upon a firm cheek weld sandwiching the buttstock between jaw, elbow, and knee.
I’ll get a cheek riser for the Tikka T1x and see what happens.
