Sagebrush, what brake are you running on the T3? It is a Harrells Precision. I have them on a few guns. They are effective and rather inexpensive.
THE CHAIR IS AGAINST THE WALL. The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world. The website is up and running!www.lostriverammocompany.com

Kimber 338-06 with 21" barrel. 210 Sciroccos at 2835 fps have proved to be deadly to moose, caribou, and grizzly bears. 6.2 pounds with a VX-6 2-12X42 on it: ![[Linked Image]](http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x8/alaska_lanche/Gun%20Pics/F7B204F3-2A4C-4F14-A287-61B74CFB91F9_zpsf6pstxv1.jpg)

I'm gonna get me a .338-06 one of these days, seems like a great chambering.
A kimber would be schweet.

not really a dedicated Backpack gun, but I hunt 5-8000' mountains in Idaho's Salmon River Breaks country and its all I ever take with me. For the longest time it wore a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40, just recently that was replaced with a VX6 2-12X42. As shown weighs 8.6 pounds.
270 Winchester
Winchester 70 Action - South Carolina (circa 06/07)
Shilen #3 - been recontoured to roughly a 2.5 finished at 24.75"
Timney at 2.5 pounds
McMillan Edge Stock
Williams Bottom Metal
Talleys
Shoots 129grain Barnes LRX bullets at 3150 FPS into little tiny holes. More importantly - feeds everytime, works everytime, and I have 100% confidence in it.
I will try to post a pic tonight when I get home. Photo bucket is acting up here at work for some reason.

Good Shooting!

I myself was surprised and even went and verified the dope which lined up. Manual says I should be around 2750 or so...I think my actual average is around 2810 after looking at my notes.
Good Shooting!

......... but I know what I can do with it. One of the main requirements for any shooter-rifle combination.

It's crazy how barrels/chambers can vary one to the next.

Good Shooting!

Not much of a backpack hunter any more, but these fit the bill.. A custom barreled 700 .300 Savage & a custom 7mm08... ![[Linked Image]](http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s465/WyoCoyoteHunter/IMG_0350_zps9gdqwi9t.jpg)
