Have any of you had your Tikkas fail in the field, if so.. how.?


The trigger group compared to a Remington is like comparing a Bentley to a Kia. Between Sako and Tikka the best triggers currently made. I have never experienced any kind of mechanical issue with a Tikka but I guess if you use Google you will eventually read about some failure. The T3 is a one size fits all and 6.5x284 or 284 are not offered. My best guess would be the WSM magazine.
