I had a T3 in 300WSM. It did as advertised. I sold it. I liked my 30-'06 #1 and M77 better. That's all.

Sorry, but it just can't be dark ENOUGH for some. Sometimes you can FEEL the ugly! I've been told.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

jwall,
It would be a pleasure. I might suprise you in Arkansas my good man, I have a friend in Wynn and I am hoping to hunt with him next year...
With my .243 the last straw was that the trigger would corrode and gum up and I lost two animals over it, nothing I did would stop that trigger from sticking, if the weather said snow next week, the gun wouldnt fire. If it rained the night before, same deal. I lost confidence in it, and then realised I hadn't had much pleasure out of it anyway, having been underwhelmed with the whole concept anyway, so I sent it down the road.
I would rather deal with a Howa 1500 for a good rifle at a reasonable price; older Sako-type design and so forth.

I have a new Tikka .223 twisted 1 in 8 sitting in the vault that I have not shot yet. I am waiting to see if it will run with Sako's.

The invitation stands. Let me know as/if things develop.

carlsenhighway your an azzhole. You can't get too wound up my sensitive friend, there's about 60 positive posts on the thread and just me and Nsaqam who don't like them. Reminds me of the Gary Larson cartoon with a big hall for the "I Hate Dances With Wolves" party, and its got just three people in it drinking weak cordial.

The only problem with the Tikka is....
They may turn you into a Sako slut.That happened to me.
Sorry,I drank the Sako-Aid.My opinion may be biased.

How does the Tikka T-3 compare to the Ruger American?

Shouldn't that be the other way around?
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Beretta is not a very good distributer however, just look at what is available to the rest of the world that we can not get.. Trust me when I say that the difference between what is available in Europe, and what is available in the USA, will narrow considerably in the next year or two. It's taken sometime, but someone finally switched the light on at Beretta USA (Sako/Tikka importer) and senior management and ownership at both Sako/Tikka and Beretta USA is addressing the shortfall.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Only problem I have with Tikka's is I dont get to visit with my gunsmith anymore. When I was buying new Remington 700's and a couple of Winchester featherlights I had lots of reason to go visit  The only problem with the Tikka is....
They may turn you into a Sako slut.That happened to me. I too was so happy with my Tikka's I traded up to a couple of Finnlights so I too am a Sako slut...

said it before, my tikka is so easy to load for that it is boring. I actually really want to know what makes it so easy and accurate. That gun needs to be reverse engineered by a gunsmith. haha

Rumor has it that the T3 SS Lite will be offered in 9.3x62 or 9.3x66.
