Tikka Rifles

[Phantom Gobbler]

My friends and I have T-3's in .22-250, .270, .270 WSM and .30-06.  They are all numereo uno!

I had a Sako in .243 and traded it to my brother for a shotgun. That was a tackdriver. I am now looking to get a T3 stainless in .223 and am sure it will also shoot as well.

The only slight compaint I have is that the Tikka isn't available in short action. I'm sure that if Tikka offered different action lengths the price per unit would increase so it's probably a wash.

that's interesting, never noticed that. So even the micro's like 223?

you can get them with a 1:8 twist which would be cool for hunting and long range shooting. shoot the heavies.

who cares, they shoot awesome and are light.

I have one in .338 federal. smooth and accurate been thinking about putting a Bell & Carlson stock on it.

I've got the T-3 lite, SS, with a Leupy on it.  Shoots awsome.  Carried it for over a week doing well over a hundred miles and huge amounts of verticle on my sheep hunt in Alaska, was glad it was so light.

Do have a question for you Tikka guys.  I'm working on a load for mine with the 168 bergers.  Anyone shooting the bergers, are you loading them long?  If so, how far off the lands?  Seems like they need to be loaded long, I have some that are loaded at SAAMI, and they shoot good, but I think there is more there, what say you?

Ive got one in 300wsm and really like it, it shoots the 150 win silvertips the best but ive had performance issues on game so im gunna try the 168 berger vld's. Great guns, can't go wrong. oh, bell and carleson just came out with a stock for em' too if you dont like the factory one. Good luck......

Lewy my shoots the 180 accubonds they worked  well on his deer , sheep , and elk.

I think the majority of Tikka owners on the site love them, at least that's what is said in the 25 other Tikka rifle threads on here I have a .223 varminter that I love. Id eventually like to buy one in 7 mag or 300 rem and retire my hefty ruger no. 1. I would also like to have a custom built 700 remington, but as far as the cost comparison, its tough to beat the Tikkas.
