Not trying to post a negative. Just asking. Any issues with the plastic trigger guard and plastic magazine?
And, is Tikka still using the "post" (for lack of a better term) as the recoil lug? I took mine outside once and it crumbled in my hands. Avoid Tikka and Glock like the plague!

I bought T3 hunter models. 8" twist 223 LH and 8" twist 260 LH. Both are really good shooters.

Dandy little rifle to shoot and carry and I've never spent less time or money to get the kind of accuracy this rifle delivers.

Are you going to stay with the wood stock or will you go synthetic?

Are you going to stay with the wood stock or will you go synthetic? I bedded it in the take-off from my T3Lite (which I bedded in a B&C). Sanded off the Euro-look and gave it a rattle-can job in the back yard. ![[Linked Image]](http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r295/BeNBadRacing/111_zpsa83e8e62.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r295/BeNBadRacing/2603_zpsde1210ad.png)

Might re-paint for next year. That is one thing about these Tupperware stocks. If your tired of the look, a new paint job is some sand paper and a rattle can away.
