Madhouse Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Even though my Ruger did just fine last year, I just had a hankering for a pretty wood rifle with decent glass. I went to Gander Mountain and picked up this Tikka T3 Hunter and Leupold VX-2 scope. Can't wait to get some blood on it this fall.
planeflyer21 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Those T3 actions are slick as snot! Congrats!
survivalshop Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Very nice. Caliber? Looks like a long action , 30'06 ?
StainTrain Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Tikka T3.......very nice. Are those East Texas deer you will be killing?
Madhouse Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Posted June 3, 2014 .270 Win., to be used on East Texas deer and any stinky piggy who dares cross my path. The trigger is amazing, adjustable from 2-4 lbs., I'm thinking it's less than 3 from the factory, very crisp.
planeflyer21 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Posted June 3, 2014 We had several people come in to get Remingtons or Winchesters, who ended up leaving with a Tikka T3...because of that AWESOMELY crisp trigger! One dude bought one as an emergency, when his Remington went down a week before hunting season. The T3s were on sale. Came back around Christmas with his sons and bought them each one too!
Madhouse Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Posted June 3, 2014 That Mauser action is super sweet too!
Madhouse Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Posted January 21, 2015 Forgot to update, I used the trigger twice, both shots were fruitful. Outstanding rifle, very glad I got it.
98Z5V Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 I've been wanting one of these for awhile now... Must resist... must resist... (Can't go near Jon when he's at the store, either. Fucker is NOT GOOD when he's in the store...)
planeflyer21 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 Ppffffttt! ALL I ever do is say "Hey...check this out." <laughs> <lmao>
Malig8r Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 I bought a Tikka T3 in 300 WSM and it shoots 1/2 moa! Love that rifle for elk and deer. Sounds like it's a good thing I don't live down in the SW anymore. If I were to close the temptation might overwhelm me.
