I'm guilty. Picked up T3 Lite in 270 back when the prices were still reasonable and liked it well enough to order a T3 Hunter in 260 with 8 twist barrel. Both are very accurate, but the 260 is just stupid accurate. Not my favorite guns, but nice to carry and hunt.

I've purchased 2 because of the write-ups here along with their connection to Sakos. 7mm/08 local and a .25/06 off this site. Ended up selling both only because I find the stocks uncomfortable to shoot. Oh, and the cost of spare mags didn't set right either.
I keep wanting to give them one more try tho, probably in a .260.

Bought my first 595 Tikka in '98......7-08 SS/syn

Several other 595's & T3's since

'Convinced' some of my buddies they should try a T3 too..

Still a good 'outta the box gun'

My first 695 is from 2000 -300Win. The second one is from 2013, used 270 Win. The newest one is from last year T3 Lite SS 243Win. I am still waiting for Beretta to bring us a 7x64 stainless. After that I'll be done.

I am going to look at a t3 lite tomorrow. After reading about them on here, I have to give one a try. Thinking the .30-06 would be about perfect.

I bought a Tikka because of a local store rep. It was an excellent decision. Wood Hunter. I liked it so much I've bought two more. They are excellent, and all are shooters. But I'm considering buying one of the new Winchester XPR's. I will need to feel the balance, but I'm guessing it will be good.

A bad shoulder was forcing me to consider lighter options than my much loved FN customs with 26"Med-Wt.tubes and heavy wood stocks.
A good friend of mine lets me use a Tikka T3 lite in .30-06 and by the end of that range session I was hooked!!! Now I have 2 T3-Superlites a .30-06 and a .223Rem 8"twist with a .243 on the way,after that who knows...Tikka's new CTR in .308 or .260-
8"has lots of WOW factor,then buyin Scopes n Developing loads...ScottyO.

I think a limited edition 24hourcampfire T3 would be pretty cool grin

I usually feel pretty comfortable to recommend Tikka rifles to guys who are looking to buy something new. Around here the T3 lite goes for around $1300 eek and does make the decision slightly more difficult. It feels a little stupid paying that money for something that has quite a bit of plastic.

But it is still nice to know that you will get a good shooting rifle.

Anyone with multiples swapping Swirlys? Kinda thought a fella could go all out on a handle and swap it out to a plinker for summer fun.
