If you are in Spokane, Northwest Gun and Pawn on Pines had a .25-06 for sale in great shape.  I went with a .243 instead that was a little shorter and already had a scope mounted to it,  for my daughters first rifle.

  I have a Tikka T3 lite in 300 wm and carry it all over with me. In the beginning i didn't shoot it much more than i had to because of recoil, after realizing its pointless to carry a rifle you aren't comfortable and confident with i put a limb saver recoil pad on it and now I can shoot 40 rounds in a day and not feel a touch of sore the next day.  I would highly recommend the rifle and also the recoil pad. Muzzle brakes are always good but i don't like how loud it is. For me the recoil pad was enough to make it enjoyable to shoot and I have gotten 3 inch groups at 530 yards with factory ammo, I need to get into reloading again.   :twocents:

Tikka / Sako do not warranty their stocks if broke by using a bipod.  I had a 270 wsm that i shattered the forend by using one.  Their response is they are not made for bipods...period.  I ended up ordering a McMillan to replace it.  Something to consider.

I like the Tikka T3's.  The superlite looks good, wish they offered it in stainless steel.

I own several tikkas, they flat out shoot. My most recent is a superlight 223, first trip to the range with factory ammo was right at 1/2".

 :yeah:

Good news.  All the superlites appeared to be blued only on the catalog.  I will have to look again.  I have 2 T3 in stainless and 3 blues ones.  Good guns.

I believe Sportsmans Warehouse carries the stainless/camo version

I thought Sportsmans carries the black/blued and Cabelas carries the camo/stainless...?

Looked at Vancouver Sportsman's today - Black/stainless.  The A7 was sort of camo - Splatter/stainless.  They also had quite a few Finnlights in stock.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."
