I have owned a two T3s in 30-06 and both were very accurate but I sold them cause I wanted one in a lefty 308 (which is now my main hunting rifle).

I also owned a 695 in 300 win mag. that was probably the most accurate rifle I ever owned. It would shoot everything into tiny little groups. I ended up selling that rifle because it was very heavy, kicked like a mule, and was not the best choice of rifle for hunting in the swamps of eastern Canada.

The Tikkas are wonderful rifles. I had my 308 T3 cut down to 20 inches for thick cover hunting and it shoots a variety of loads and bullet weights very well, even at ranges out to 300 yards and longer.
