My favorite rifle is a Tikka T3 .308 midnight bronze cerakote in a Realtree Timber stock. I was told it didn’t have enough “knockdown” power. That was all the reason I needed to buy other cals. 😜 7mag, 300win mag, 300 wsm, 30-06… I like them all.
Still the Tikka .308 is my favorite rifle. It’s so crazy accurate. I started reloading this year and it made me look like I knew what I was doing! (Sierra GameChanger 165g)
I know it’s slower, has less powder and won’t get there as fast. But the deer don’t seem to notice any of that. In my experience, a well-placed bullet is better than a super fast errant one.
I’m enjoying this thread. Have a great day all!!!
