Title: I ended up getting the Tikka T3 300 win mag
Post by: muzzleman on December 12, 2014, 06:52:46 PM: Here is what I ended up getting. I wasn't sure if I wanted the 300 win mag or the 300 wsm. I think I got a great deal on this Tikka T3 300 win mag. I appreciate all the input everyone put in. It came with a leupold vx 2 3-9x40 and the strap the lens covers and the hard case.

Post by: muzzleman on December 13, 2014, 08:15:17 AM: No results yet. I need to find time to go out and shoot probably won't get out till after the New Year. I'm going to put warne scope rings on there, but still deciding if I want a more powerful scope.

Post by: slm9s on December 13, 2014, 08:35:48 AM: If it doesn't already have a limbsaver, put one on it.

I'd ditch the factory rings and buy some Talley lightweights. You'd hate to have them fail out in the wilderness, and they don't have a great reputation.

Post by: Bob33 on December 13, 2014, 09:13:56 AM: Warne rings are good and strong. 3 to 9 scope should work well for the vast majority of hunting situations.

Post by: higunner on December 13, 2014, 09:21:48 PM: I have the same rifle in .338 WM No Sims pad but I had a muzzle break installed, its works great. Also check out the DNZ mounts, great bang for the buck. I've traveled a lot with this rifle and have never had it lose zero.

Post by: CAMPMEAT on December 13, 2014, 09:40:12 PM: I've got the DEDNUTZ scope mount on my Tikka 300wsm. I think they are one of the best systems out there.

Did the same for mine . The Tikka's, at least the ones I own, seem to shoot the hornady superperformance ammo really well.

Post by: Biggerhammer on December 14, 2014, 11:18:46 AM: That SuperFormance is warm stuff! I shot it in my Sig 716 and had to turn the piston gas down, it would flat move that .308 bolt carrier group.

Post by: carpsniperg2 on December 14, 2014, 01:01:23 PM: Talley light weights have been excellent for me on the tikka's. I also like the warne rings.

Post by: Bofire on December 15, 2014, 08:38:38 AM: :) Been running Tikkas for many years. 338, 300WM and wsm, 243, 223,22-250 308 and 270. Use factory Tikka rings on em all. So does my Brother and many friends. I have never had a problem of any kind. Don't throw your money away, buy ammo.
You made a great choice, get the recoil pad.
