Re: 9.3mm - Woodleigh 286 gr vs 320 gr

The screw at the wedge between the barrels about midway is for elevation adjustment. Loosen the screw and move the wedge to give more pressure makes the bottom shoot higher and the top to shoot a bit lower. It takes very little adjustment of the wedge to make a big difference in relative elevations. Remember, one goes up while the other goes down with the same adjustment. Lessining the pressure causes the bottom to shoot lower...top higher.

The screw at muzzle end adjusts windage. There will be a factory witness mark right on the end wedge. The adjustment is pretty simple for windage. I have seldom needed to adjust here. Also, the rear sight can be adjusted somewhat for windage by moving the two very small blade pivot screws. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DOING THIS!!! THE REAR SIGHT BLADE IS VERY FRAGILE!!! It takes a very small metric allen wrench. Loosen one side counting turns, then tighten the other side counting turns.

The Valmet factory mount returns to zero well, but looks a bit crude. I use an American quarter to tighten it as much as I can finger tight...works OK. I don't know of any other scope mounts for this system.

That Loopy 1X4 is a great scope for the Valmet/Tikka. I have one for my 12/9,3X74R set and love it!!!

I have factory gunsmithing instructions somewhere around here and will get back to you once I find them...send a copy along.

You'll have fun with the Tikka. They DO work, if not with all the esthetics of the snooty looking guns. Mine out shoots my LaJot best quality sidelock.
