Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Another boring Tikka

Bought a Tikka T3x Stainless Hunter. Put a Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 on it in DNZ one piece rings. Picked up a box of Federal Premium 130 SGK’s and headed to the range.

Once I got her on paper at 50 yards, shot two 3-shot 1/2”-3/4” groups at 100.

Nice! What cartridge? .270 Win maybe......Hb

Have to be happy with that!

Nice shootin!!!

Yeah .270

My 2nd Tikka. The other is a T3 Lite Stainless in .308 and its a shooter too.

Horrible ergos, plastic parts, mags are trash, throats bad, stocks junk, wah, wah, blah, blah...


And the f-n things just flat out shoot.

Congrats. In general, today's modern hammer forged barrels seem to shoot great. Have seen moments of brilliance from six Tikklers, two RAR, four 700, and one 77 in the past few years. Had a button rifled 110 that was just as good. I would consider all as cheap/budget rifles.

Have also seen mediocre performance from one 110, one Tikka, and one SAKO. Still minute of deer, but not solid 1-MOA rifles for 3-shots, let alone 5 or 10

I like the tikka good shooting guns

I have six of them. Not one of them shoots over 0.7" groups with my handloads. Most often cloverleafs in the 0.3" range.

Not picking on any one personally nice that you have accurate rifles you like. But I think everyone should boycott Beretta until they fix all the bad Sako 85's their selling to people.
