How does it handle? Worth having, or more hinderance? I'm sure its quite subjective but happy to hear from all points of view.


I have a blued 24" T3X and have enjoyed it alot. I'm not much of a stand hunter, and I've never thought the 24" to be a hinderance. It's a very mild kicker as well. Like all Tikkas.....extremely easy to find accuracy. I feel the same about my T3 22" 7mm08. Never really notice the difference between them.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
