Tikka or Sako?? what would you do?, WHY????

[thinkingman]

T3, stainless/synthetic, 7mm-08.....exactly like the one resting against the 300WSM in my safe.
I would buy an upgraded ring setup....deadnutz, talley or warne.

.270 is a great all-around caliber that will get the job done. Like was mentioned, Stainless is the way to go over here on the wetside. My buddy shoots his dad's old rifle that is wood/blued and I cringe every time I look at it.

so i figured i can can get tikka t3 for 543.49 after tax and a leupold vxII 3-9x40 for 269.00 plus tax.....hmmm looking like its coming soon!

Nope. I used one for Blacktail for a few years...just try not to hit meat.

took two deer this year with my tikka in 300 win. this is my favorite riffle,nay my favorite firearm that i own. with my finely tuned reloads i shoot very small clover leafs  about 1 inch high dead center at 200 yrds and a little over a inch and a quarter high at 100 yards. thats plenty good for my hunting

humm...ide go sako for name. purely a much more sought after gun...but tikka for quality is well up there.....

ide go sako if i had the money either way though.

I worked up some load for my brother Tikka Lite Hunter in 300 Win Mag.  I had a brake put on it b/c of recoil.

Picture says it all.  Velocity was a little low but accuracy was good.

Picture says

200 yards,
71 grains of RL 19
165 Grain Accubonds

I would recommend a .308 for deer, bear and coyotes, even short range for elk.  Recoil is minimal, and ammo is everywhere.

If you want to age yourself.....pick up a 30-06.

[RailRob]

thats what i was shooting..

[Moose Eyes]

Whichever you decide you will end up with a good shooter.  Post pics when she arrives!

If you cant shoot well enough to kill deer, bear and elk with a 308, you do not belong hunting at all.
