Title: couple of questions
Post by: HighCountryHunter88 on October 07, 2010, 06:03:23 PM: i will soon be purchasing a new rifle and I've been looking hard at the tikka t3 lite in 270 wsm. i was wondering if anyone has one and how they like it? also i will be deer hunting this year with my 6mm and wanted to see if anyone has a favorite factory deer load for that caliber?
Thanks!
