I have a t3 lite, factory rings (oh! the horror) 3x9 3200 elite. No idea of weight. It is a little light for me, I struggle to shoot it in the field sometimes. A Rem 660 308, Brown stock, VX 2 3x9 in Talley lightweights, is perfect. Wish I could figure the deal with that rifle. It is not real accurate, but in real use, it works better for me than anything else I have tried. Probably fit and balance.

The most important part of an ultra light rifle is the trigger.

I think it's the balance of your Tikka, not the mass weight that is what's preventing you from being as accurate in the field.

I think we could apply this to half the threads on this forum. All the BC and velocity and terminal performance in the world will not help you if the gun is uncomfortable to shoot.
