Default Tikka T3 thoughts

I would like to buy a new rifle this summer. I have been looking at the Tikka and I like the gun. Does anyone have much knowledge about these guns? I plan on getting it in a .25-06 so I can use it for anything from deer to coyotes and maybe even a prairie dog or two.
Thanks

I have a T3 Lite in .25-06 that is the most accurate rifle I own. They have excellent barrels made by Sako, an easily user adjustable trigger(2-4 lbs), and an accuracy guarantee.

The Tikka ia a nice light rifle and in a 25-06 should work very well. You’ll take full advantage of the long action...

I have a Tikka T3 Lite Stainless in 300 WSM. Its a great rifle. Shoots right at 1in with Winchester Super-X Power Points. I got mine at a local gunshop but i would immagine you cna get them anywhere you cna get a Beretta because they importTikka and Sako.

I guess you guys with the 300’s are not recoil sensitive or you added a decent recoil pad on yours. I had one in the 300 WSM and did not like the recoil at all. Rifle was way too light. Ended up trading it . Nice camo job TC...

It's weird but it has less recoil then the Win Model 70 wood stock 300 win mag I had.
