Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds WTT Tikka T3 lite stainless .270 for a quality .243

Bought this a few weeks back and decided it was redundant with a .30-06 in my collection. The significant other wants to start deer hunting this year so she'll need a rifle. I'd prefer a tikka or sako a7 but I'm open minded. This rifle was listed as unfired, and I have not fired it. I can find no discernible marks but I will rate it at 95% to be safe. Shipped price is $550 for those interested in buying. I can text or email pics to whoever wants them. Thanks, Jon.

Bought it used?

It was listed as used, and unfired as part of an elderly gentleman's collection. I have no reason to believe this claim is incorrect. It looks brand new.

If someone is sincerely interested I will shoot the rifle for groups, but I doubt it will underperform any other factory tikka.

I am hoping to find someone that has a child/wife ready to make the jump from 243 to something more potent. I have a 110 lb girlfriend and a 3 and 5 year old that will be soon occupying my deer blind, otherwise I would keep the .270. My .30-06 will do well for me

Not the best pictures but they will do. Sling not included. I think I am just down to wanting another Tikka or a Sako A7.

Instead of a smaller round for your better half did you try any reduced loads? Federal Fusion Lite Rifle Ammo for the .270 is rated at half the recoil

•Perfect for deer-sized game
•Reduces felt recoil by up to 50%
•Boat tail rifle bullet design

I looked into the reduced loads but I wasn't really sure how well they worked and they are pretty expensive around here. I've got a couple .22s, a .270, and a 30-06 right now and I kinda feel like my safe would be more well rounded with a .243 than the .270. I've been using my '06 for coyote hunting in some flat open terrain and I really worry about ricochet so the .243 having a wide selection of varmint bullets is a plus too. Good deer rifle for them and good coyote rifle for me.

$550 shipped or trade on a .243, maybe a .25-06 or .260

Here is a Tikka in 243 caliber. No idea if the guy would trade or not and it is blued instead of stainless.

I have the 243. Thought of a 270 for my son. Will give this some thought.

I'll throw in a $25 e-gift card I've been saving from Opticsplanet for the right trade, would get you started on some quality rings or whatever.

I am going to take the money it would have costed me to trade and invest it in some dies and work up some light loads. Thanks everyone, this rifle is withdrawn.

Would you still consider selling?

Did this for the grand daughter. Shoot me a PM if you would like a couple suggestions...
