In my opinion , i would choose a long action caliber ( Tikka doesnt have a short action option).
Okay, I'm lost....Why does it matter? What am I missing? :dunno:
The Tikka T3 in .308 is an excellent choice. I recently sold my Tikka T3 25-06 an just purchased a Tikka T3 in 22-250 the other day, both are great firearms. So I guess I don't get what you are saying, they are great hunting rifles they are not F-Class or bench gun shooters.

When I purchased my new Tikka the other day there was another gun expert customer telling me that $399 bucks for a new T3 wasn't such a great deal when I could get a Tikka T3 Varmint model that holds 5 rounds in the mag instead of only 3. I said "OH you must be an EXPERT on things that don't matter" He just shook his head and walked away. So I'm supposed to spend another 300 bucks to get two extra rounds??? :yike: DUH, I could have had a V8. :chuckle: :chuckle:
Let me see if I got this right, I buy it, I take it home, I put a scope on it, send 6 rounds thru the barrel for sight in, I kill a coyote the very next morning before sun up. One round, one kill, yeah those two extra rounds would have sure come in handy, and I still have that extra 300 bucks in my pocket :yike: Don't tell my wife.

the tikkas are all long action .If you like the .308 , fine but why not a 30-06?

Ya , the .308 is a great round , i was just trying to let him know that tikkas dont have a true "short action".
Whats that matter?
I have a T3 lite 7mm mag, it kills everything I point it at.

FC,
It was at Wholesale Sports. They had 30 bucks cash off and a in store gift card for $100 making the total price down from $529 to $399. I figure I can use the gift card for reloading supplies or when I get my XMas gift cards I might be able to put it all towards another scope. :IBCOOL:

Thanks for that! I would like to shoot one in 300wm to see if that is more recoil than I want to deal with in such a light rifle before buying, I have a t3 in 270 and love it.

If you're not in a hurry, find the best price and wait a month or so to get one. I've bought 2 guns from lowprice and they beat everybody. Just a thought.
