Finally got out this afternoon and shot my new 243 Tikka T3. Wow what a sweet gun. After getting it sighted in was shooting, no lie, 1/2" groups. Topped it off with a Leupold 50mm scope. Great combination and what a difference over my old Model 70 carbine 243.

I'm thinking of picking one up in a .300 WSM, several friends have them and they shoot very well. It's just hard for me to break my Rem700 addiction.

Dang, that is the one I have been looking at.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.
Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I know the old Tikka shotguns wore out barrels really fast. Any of you Tikka guys put a good number of rounds into the new rifles? Sounds like they have improved greatly, but I have yet to talk to anyone who has put one through some abuse. I'm going to tip my WY guide a new varmint rifle and want to make sure if I go Tikka he won't be disappointed in a few years and put me in a crappy blind.

spent yesterday at the range and the tika did not kick anywhere near what i expected. I did put a limbsave recoil pad on it after watching people get rocked by the 300 wsm on the net. did first shot standing to get a idea of teh full on force and I think the savage 30-06 i have kicks worse. Happy to report with winchester accubond 165 grain the rifle is holding 1/2 inch groups at 100yards. cant wait to do some home loads for it and see if cant get it down more(also that $55 a box is a bit spendy).
, the 264(pre 1964) I think I will trade off for a rifle for the boy(9yr old so it's too much for him) mainly cause I have a few rifles too simliar to it so it doesn't have a purpose. and the 308 model 100 semi, works great for the girl(with a limbsaver recoil pad on it as well kicked more than I expected it to) .

Bought one in .308 from a member last year. Shooting all hand loads. My 12 year old daughter shot a 1/2" group at 200 yards with it last year
Didn't get a shot at any mule deer but she had a Toutle doe tag and dropped one pretty easily. I love the gun. My daughter is very small and yet had no problem with the kick. Shooting 150 grain Nosler/Winchester CT partition, don't remember the powder without looking but muzzle velocity was just over 2,500 fps.
