Tikka T3 Lite

Step one- throw away the rings.  They are junk.  Get Talley one piece rings
step two- change out the recoil pad to a limbsaver. 

I have two and love them.  They are great shooters and very affordable.


I think i saw a 270 wsm on seattle guns.net.  I hardly buy a new rifle anymore.

I'd go with the X-Bolt

Are you not a fan of any plastic stocks (or parts)? Or just the ones that come with the t3?

I have Brownings and like them but the Tikkas shoot just as well if not better.. My friend had an A7 and the stock broke when he shot the gun with a bipod. The Beretta rep told him it wasn't meant to be used with a bipod and offered him a replacement stock for $650. He's not an A7 fan any longer.

The A7 is great shooter. I got the 270wsm before they stopped making it and the 300wsm. Little better fitting stock and a little more steel in the magazine. Both great guns

I have shot 10 critters in 2 years with the A7 and drug it threw a lot of stuff and it has been nothing but great for me.

For the money you can not beat them .. They shoot great right out of the box and the cal . you picked will fit the bill just fine !

Go finger em side by side, if that doesn"t do it for ya, then a couple hundred bucks, if that must be a big deal to ya, and thats fine. I've been around lots of em, some shot well, some didn't, just couldn't get by the cheap plastic feeling. Not to mention the sling swivel issue,plastic clips that are known to break, garbage rings, etc.

 This is great! My 16 yr old daughter just opened her B-day present from her daddy (me ). Said rifle in .270. I came on here and first thread I saw was this one!

[shrek]

I'm sorry! LOL

It's a good gun. If you like them

Hmmm, a good rifle for a 16 year old girl...that's a little emasculating...I think i'll buy a bigger caliber.

BH45 kills a lot of bears with the .270. Plenty big enough! Especially in mag. I beat the tar out of my T-3 .300 wsm in the high country every year and has quickly become my best hunting purchase ever! (besides truck)

I'm a .270 fan, but all my friends give me crap because they shoot cannons.  Awesome pic of the daughter.  A lot of girls (or guys) her age wouldn't know which end the bullet comes out of.  You're doing something right.

Congrats to the young lady
