Just follow the MANUAL and just use patch's or a foam cleaner and you will be a happy camper for years . With my guns , found they settle in after about a hundred rounds or so and start shooting a little better  than at first . Maybe you just got lucy right off to bat .
Happy Shootin' ;D

I also picked one up in a stainless 30-06.  I put 3 shots in an inch at 200 yds.  Luck, well I come close to repeating it often.

The scope is a Vari III 3.5 x 10 x 40

The only thing about having more than one of the same rifle is you gotta mark them or have different scopes 'cause you grab one , then the others Ammo .
Got some white tape on the stock of one so the wife will not try to load 338F in the '06

Very nice shooting.  Been reading about these Tikka all afternoon (after I got back from hunting with my Win M70).  I am seriously looking at trying one.

Some kind of break in regimen is not a bad idea for longevity of the barrel, but with these rifles I doubt it is necessary for accuracy purposes, since they are test fired to meet their 1 MOA standard before they are shipped. Not too much luck involved in getting a shooter with this brand. Welcome!
