My Tika 300 wsm is an awesome gun, shoots real flat. I have a great 3 inch group a 300 yds with some 165 gr. nosler partions. I would buy another. I did have to upgrade my scope mounts as the recoil cracked the front one, I think those were nikons (cheap):dunno: I guess thats a common problem, the 60 $ leapold mounts seem to work just fine.

Get some deadnutz or talleys scope mounts you won't regret it. The deadnutz you can buy online and they are the easiest mounts I ever installed.

I have a few T3's in SS lite. Love the gun and think best  overall firearm ( weight, accuracy, trigger, etc) for less than $1000. In the heavier calibers replace the rings as mentioned with Talley lw, warne or deadnutz :twocents:

I think the rings that come with the T3 work fine for the .25 caliber models and below :twocents:

I have owned a T3 in 30-06 for about six years.  I have had zero problems.  It's just a great gun, period.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

 :)bunch of em from 223 thru 300 mags. None of mine have "clips" :P they all have magazines!
Great buy, I think the best deal out there 5-600 for a very light accurate rifle.

Wishing I was fishing...or in Wyoming

Tika 300WSM- We have four of them in elk camp so we never have to worry about running out of ammo! Love everything about it except the clip seems a little cheap and the spring can rattle if your carrying it in your pocket. Tack driver.

by the way, I am in the process of having some clips made to take up to 2.995 COAL rounds for the 270/300 WSM Tikka 3.  Im still out about two months on the final project.  Anyone interested.  Probably sell the early takers for around $50 each.  Custom mags for custom rounds.

This is a great idea.
Guys have resorted to milling a groove down the front of the mag to gain some clearance for COAL.
I'm curious to see the finished product or a prototype.
