That's great to know about the heavy barrels. So far have only owned the stainless Lite models - no complaints there at all - but just bought a T3x Varmint in 6.5 CM last week and have another Varmint model in .223 coming in a few days. Darned rain has kept me off the range this weekend but hopefully will get out in a few days to see what the Creedmoor can do.
These two make my 5th and 6th Tikkas, bought for all the reasons already listed.
My first was a T3 bought a few years ago and I'm glad they made those changes to the T3x stock. The checkering is grabbier and it feels better in the hand.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
