Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters As accurate as a Tikka T3 ???

Has anyone used a .260 on game in the Tikka?

It was pretty funny actually. I got the 338 and headed over to a place I owned in the sticks to let her rip a time or two. There was an old fella lived just up the road a little piece. He was sitting on his porch when I went past. A wave and a nod there as I pulled into the property. I toss a couple sandbags on the hood of the pick-up and stick up a target. So there I am peering through the scope of the T3,thinking more about the trigger than anything else. I light up one of the 225gr Hornady hand loads. Now this isn't the first 338 Winny I ever owned,but what a hoot! After a nice fireball,a tap on the forehead (no cut,just a reminder),and a well deserved expletive. I hear the old fella up the road laughing on the porch. He apparently thought my reference to the all mighty,sex,and a Missouri mule was pretty funny. The next couple shots got the respect they deserved. And a little better grip on the rig.

The Dewey Rifle..Turd polishers dun moved on from Savage.pretty funny

Otter -

I am smiling/laughing as and after reading UR account.
I can see it, oh so perfectly well.

I was actually surprised how tame my t3 338 win mag is given the weight.

I've had 11 t3's and picked up my 12th this weekend (223 8 twist). I expect it to shoot just like all my others, which is excellent.

I haven't used the .260, but I have used the Tikka T3 6.5x55, which is its ballistic twin and is an absolute sweetheart of a rifle.

140 Nosler Partitions are deadly on deer and I would not hesitate to use it on any North American big game, short of the big bears.

Model 70s of course:
