Tikka T3x Lite 308 Win with a Leupold VX-3 3.5x10x40mm mounted with Talley LW low rings. I got the rifle yesterday and mounted the scope today. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/68tBRo8.jpg)

Dave, I’ll wager that you’re gonna like it……….a lot.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Nice rifle Dave. Bought a T3x Hunter SF 6.5x55 couple months ago and it's a shooter. You won't be disappointed. Dan.
It doesn't matter how fast you miss.

Others have pretty much voiced my opinions as well! Congrats! memtb

Pappy, I don't know the weight. I don't have an accurate scale.
Thanks for the replies.

Nice, hope it's a good shooter for you.
Those who are always shooting off at the mouth usually aren't shooting straight. Build a man a fire and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life. www.wvcdl.org

Thanks. That’s a half pound or more under my M70 EW with a Triji 3-9.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I have the same rifle but with one of the Cabela's Instinct 3-9X40 scopes on it. Same scope as the Zeiss Conquest, just with Cabela's badges. Your other rifles are going to gather dust sitting unused in the safe.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I was looking for a Stainless Ruger Hawkeye with a synthetic or laminated stock. I don't like the looks of the Hawkeye hunter and didn't want a walnut stock. I'm glad I chose this rifle. I already had the scope. I bought a blued Hawkeye Ruger RSI 308 earlier this year off the classifieds. Both will see the woods this year.
Thank for the kind words.
Dave

Chop it to 21",add CTR bottom,go MT 40 MOA rail and a real scope(BTR Gen 2 '12x) and you'd have sumptin'. Hint.
Few things are warmer/fuzzier,than rugged reliability. Hint....................

Stick, Thanks for your suggestions. I rarely see a deer over 100 yards where I hunt.
