Buy recommendations Bear charge scenario: bolt gun splits?

I'm new to measuring splits between shots, and curious what everyone's baseline is for medium bore rifles at 25 yards or so?

Trying to decide if I should put together a 223 trainer or just run a lot of snap cap drills.

Glad to hear that about the tikka, that's high up on my list of options. Shot one in 7-08 the other day and liked it. Backfire on YouTube complains about the stock a lot, but i can swap that out down the line. Don't care for detachable magazines (floor plate guy) but I can't argue that they sure are cconvenient.

Why do you like floor plate? Just seems way more inconvenient.

Nothing to loose. Don't hunt from the truck much, so I'm not worried about fast loading and unloading. I've had issues in the past with bad feeding from cheap mags, but haven't had that issue with floor plates.

That’s fair.
