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

You did't get her a car! Sweet sixteen and hopefully never been kissed?  :tup:

I think the Tikka is a good rifle.. my only comment would be to consider a more common caliber.. something you could walk any place that sells ammo under normal circumstances and find ammo...

I bought a T3 Lite in .243 a couple of months ago with a Vortex Diamondback scope. No complaints so far, shot groups seem to get tighter the more I shoot it. Have put about 50 rounds through so far.

Both the 270 WSM and 300 WSM are actually quite common now;there's really not much of an issue with finding ammunition for them. Unless you're flying somewhere and you're concerned about luggage not making it, I'm not sure why you wouldn't take enough ammunition on a hunt anyway. :dunno:

Only complaint I've heard is they kick more due to the light stock. Some people say the "flex" in the higher calibers whatever that means. Just what I've run across during some research.
Fishermen, hunters, woodchoppers, and others, spending their lives in the fields and woods, in a peculiar sense a part of Nature themselves, are often in a more favorable mood for observing her, in the intervals of their pursuits, than philosophers or poets even, who approach her with expectation. She is not afraid to exhibit herself to them. Henry David Thoreau

my 300wsm t3 shoots great and that crapy stock absorbs the recoil quite well . I would stick to the .270 standard instead of the wsm if your gonna shoot factory ammo . fedral premuims in tbc's would fit the bill well . every t3 iv'e seen shoot really well . I'd concider a spare clip and upgraded scope mounts . If your gonna look to smith the gun down the road then i'd go with a 700 rem.
