Do you use it for deer and elk?  Do you handload?  What bullet do you use?  I've heard they beefed up 120BT in .284.

We have and shoot lots of tikka's. Just bought the 7mm-08 and 22-250 in the last couple weeks. You can't go wrong with that gun and the 7mm-08 is a great choice.

You should have good luck with the Tikka T3. Lots of guys on here swear by them. My wife shoots a 7mm-08 in a Browning, it is a tack driver, and very deadly!
