Oh man! I'll have to log into 24HCF more often!

Thanks, we will stay tuned.

Finally got my T3 SL together with the 3-15x SS.

I got a scope on order so I haven't got to shoot mine yet

Got mine finally!

These things must be pretty bad, nobody's posting pics of how they rigged them up or range reports.

Shame....

Mine shoots so good, I thought about getting another one to have as a spare.

It is rigged with a Bushy LRHS, Sportsmatch rings, and that's it. Shoots everything exceptionally well.

Mine went into a Mickey Edge Kuiu with a Mt Tactical bolt handle, sportsmatch rings, LRHS, Mt Tac bottom METAL. Swallowed a large amount of Rl17 and a 140 Eld with aplomb.

Are these "new style" mags, as mentioned in this thread, available anywhere yet?

Darrik to the rescue.

Cool, I'll put one on layaway! LOL

i bought 2 5 rounders from darrick


my lefty t3x 6.5 cm is a 1/2" gun with me and federal 140 non typical.

a better shooter could get a ragged 1 hole group i think.

i aint got time to chase a unicorn. it shoots great for me and will do what i want. im done chasing the perfect hunting rifle i found it

Does that linked Whittaker's magazine for the Creed show what COAL it maximizes at?

Greg, it's listed m+. I believe mine is 2.97-2.98

Mine works like a Tikka.











SS 3-9x42mm, Sportsmatch rings,

Bought my Tikka T3x Lite SS CM early March this year and have put approximately 500 rounds through it so far. First thing I did was peel off the orange and black packaging stickers. Then attached a VX-5 2-10x42 in Talley lightweights. Bought 100 Lapua cases, Wilson hand dies, CCI 450 primers, various packets of Sierra, Berger and Hornady bullets and got to work.

One thing soon became apparent and that was due to the long throat and extra mag length on these rifles velocity was well down on what most 6.5 CM users are getting in other rifle makes with their H4350 loads. Originally struck a very good accuracy node with 43.2 gr of H4350 and the ELD-X at 2680 fps .010" off the lands for several groups of .25-35 MOA. However, I worked up to 44.2 gr of H4350 and the 143 ELD-X for 2750 fps and sub .5 MOA. Have tried Varget and R17 with the 123 SST and 130 VLD Hunting but accuracy was disappointing in the .75 MOA area or worse.

Have shot two fallow spikers with the 143 ELD-X and expansion wasn't impressive at close to 300 yards although they both died quickly and didn't mover any distance. They're not large deer so I've worked up a load of 46 grs of H4350 with the 123 SST that averages at 2910 fps on the Labradar for .5 MOA average. The 123 SST was developed for the 6.5 Grendel and should open up well for lung shots on the fallow. For the larger Red deer I'll stick to the 143 ELD-X.

So far, I'm really impressed with the accuracy of this Tikka T3x Lite 6.5 Creedmoor. The designers certainly put some serious thought into it with regards to the longer mag space and barrel length.

This could very well be the set up of set ups....

I'd move that front ring forward a touch....and maybe go with some forest green tape to contrast with the orange Teeka sticker.
But otherwise, that should work.

I was thinking rifle, chambering, and scope. I'd probably still be LW's, although a rail would be tempting too.



I.....must......look......away.......
