That’s a tough question to answer. Everyone’s abilities are different. And I think that in general the MK series is as or more accurate than the average guy. Myself included. I can say that the red dot has drastically improved my accuracy especially at distance.
The trigger is a Tandemkross Victory with the Volquartsen Accurizing Kit. The red dot is a Holosun HS507 Comp. The targets are 1” dots and 10 shots each dot. Distance is 10yards.
The MKIV 22/45 is such a great training platform for new shooters. The MK series have a ton of aftermarket support to build your pistol however you want. Ammo is cheap and they are not picky. And they are extremely accurate. This is my favorite pistol to shoot. It always goes to the range with me.
MTorWY,
I have 166 gr HH out of my Tikka M695 in 30-06 3,000Fps with H4350.
I just got a new Weatherby Vanguard in .270 that I am working up a load with the 117gr HH.
And my wife’s Tikka T3 Superlite in 6.5 Creedmoor is pushing a 110 gr HH @ 3,250 FPS.
I have a Tikka M695 in 30-06. I loaded up 166gr HH in it. I have yet to put a round into an elk but there is no doubt that’s what I will be shooting. I get sub MOA out to 500.
In my experience with the 6.5 Creedmoor, Varget is the powder for bullets 120gr and under. Above that and I would say H4350 is my favorite. That being said, there are some really good options in the Reloader powders but I haven’t been able to get my hands in any.
I have loaded up the 110HH in my wife’s Tikka T3X SL in 6.5 Creedmoor. I ended up going with 44.0 gr of Varget. It holds sub MOA out to 500 yards. That is the farthest I have been able to stretch them out. Here is some of my load work up.
If I had to chose only one it would be H4350. I have great rounds worked up for my 30-06 and my 6.5 creedmoor. If I could have two I would take Varget.
I was going to do a post on here about my load development in my Tikka M695 30-06 and we Wife’s Tikka T3X super light in 6.5 Creedmoor. I am shooting the 110 HH in the 6.5. I am getting 3,260 with 44.0Gr Varget.
I have used 100gr Slick Tricks. They fly great for me. I have not been the happiest with the blood trail though. But I have shot a 6x5 bull, a cow elk, and a few other bucks and does and they have all died fast with one arrow. Just not much of a blood trail.
Congrats on your 25-06. I won this rifle at a banquet dinner. I’m not mad at the .270 but if I could have picked a caliber it would have been the 25-06.
