I’ve owned a T3 in 300WSM in the past. Enjoyed it and sold it like a moron. It shot very well,carried well and was light and easy to pack.. Almost too light for a well stoked 300WSM. Thinking about a superlite in 6.5 Creedmoor but would like to hear from current owners of said rifle.

That's the only Tikka that intrigues me. I used to own a 7mm rem mag superlite and it was great. Accurate and light and well balanced
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I own a 6.5 creedmoor lite, not superlite. To do over again I’d get the superlite in 7mm-08; just to be legal for everything here in KY.

I have a Superlight in .308. Wasn't fond of the factory stock so it now sits in a B&C. No complaints.

I have one in 7MM-08, had the new T3x in 6.5 Creed and sold it - dumb move on my part. This one is stupid accurate with factory ammo:)

I have owned a half dozen superlites (4 in 300 Win, 2 chambered in 30-06) these are fantastic, accurate rifles that are very lightweight and function perfectly, and did I mention that they were all "Tackdrivers?".....Hb

I have a superlite in 6.5cm. It took me awhile to find one in stock where I was shopping but got it eventually. It’s an awesome gun.

I have a Tikka T3 Superlight in .300WSM. I just got it for Christmas last year, and decided it needed different glass on it, so I ordered a VX3i 2.5x10 for it. I've been out of country since I ordered the new scope, I've yet to play with it since June. Overall handling I like the gun, but I've just got to find a load it likes and shoot it some more.

Andy, Karl Feldkamp @ Kamfeld Customs did the Ti bolt flute and added one of his Campfire bolt knobs. The bolt handle is Ti and I ordered from here: https://www.boltknobs.com/tikka-t3/The bolt knob they send you sucks so I had Karl put his on, fits really nice IMHO.

Brinky, If your going to reload your own I would recommend the 6.5 swede Tikka over the Creedmoor for a few reason. The Swede comes with a long mag and 143/147 elds can be seated to reach the lands. The Creedmoor configuration won t unless you change the mag and bolt stop. 6.5 swede lapua brass is $40 less for 100 pieces than 6.5 creedmoor brass Trystan

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

I have or should I say, my youngest son has a Tikka SL in 270Win.
I will soon have one in 7mm-08 or 6.5 Creed
