Mule Deer,
Great! Maybe one of our FFLers here could do a survey to see what interest a 7x57 would have. I wonder what their minimum order would be.
Ok boys & girls, maybe its time for a new Tikka/7x57 thread.
Come to think of it, Sako makes a 9.3x62 in a couple of their models. May be some interest to do this with a Tikka too.

I wish Whittaker's would get a special run on Tikka Varmint's in .243 and a 1/8 twist. I'll take two of them.

How heavy is a T3 varmint .223?

My latest is a .260, a T3 Lite what was part of a special run from Whittaker Guns in Kentucky last year. John, have you shot any groups with this yet? Or are you saving it for print?

Just an update on the new Tikka T-3 Lite in 223 -
Yesterday was a bit cool (50 F.) and windy but a friend and I had went out for a gopher hunt anyway, surprisingly enough there were quite a few out. I put 78 rounds through it with shots ranging from 100 to 275 yds. with only 5 misses so it is looking more and more like a keeper.
Great day of shooting in spite if the chill and wind. I shot 178 rounds and my friend shot 235. The pups are starting to come up so it is going to be better soon.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

Have the T3x rifles arrived in the USA yet? I have a similar love-hate with T3s. Hated a Varmint 243Win enough I changed it into a 35Whelen. Butt ugly but shoots well in the Varmint stock. Now trying to figure out why not to buy a 204Ruger in a Lite, chop the barrel to 20" and use it as a fox rifle from the ute.
