-Shoot as is, likely to be plenty accurate for both

IMO, this is the way to go, although I'm not sure you'll see the hits because the T3 is not a heavy rifle.

Also, I've been a competitive long range handgun and rifle silhouette shooter for over 30 years. Not a great one mind you but OK. If I've learned anything during that time period while getting beat by some of the best shooters in the USA, it's this:

It ain't the arrow, it's the Indian!

BTW, I've owned and shot several T3s, and have friends with many more, and EVERY single one of those Tikkas is a less than MOA rifle with the majority of loads tested.



Pursuit may be, it seems to me, perfect without possession.
