It is with regret I list this rifle but it does simply not get the use it deserves.

I have a lightly used Tikka T3 Superlite in 7-08. Stock is a McMillan Sako Hunter Edge in grey with black speckles. Stock unbedded. Rifle weighs a bit under 6 pounds bare. I can find no major blemishes. Maybe a few hardly visible rubs. Rifle looks almost new. The only thing to mention of note is the magazines do not release as crisp as other Tikka rifles I've had. They latch great but I have to unlatch and then grab them out. Never bothered me.

With the 10x SWFA and DNZ mounts shown in photos it weighs about 21 ounces more. The rifle has a LA bolt stop and an extended magazine that allows plenty of room for heavies when kissing. It will come with the standard magazine and extended magazine.

Looking at my load book, this rifle has about 130 bullets down the barrel mostly with 140 Bergers at 2.8" which absolutely hammers. I experimented a bit with 150-162 grain bullets (1 range trip) but never fully developed a load.

I've never shot this rifle for groups closer than 550 yards so I have no idea what it does closer. But it will put 5 140 Bergers into groups smaller than my hand at 550 yards with RL-17.

All load data included with sale. And interested buyers will have the options of some loading components.

Rifle with Edge stock - $1,100 plus shipping.
Rifle with Edge stock, 10x SWFA, and DNZ mounts - $1,350 plus shipping.

Great looking setup. Wish I hadn’t blown so much money lately. Got me searching for what kind of paint McMillan uses.

Awesome guy to deal with! I own a couple of his rifles and he probably regrets selling as well. LOL

There are numerous standard Tikka and 7-08 loads that are accurate....

I can provide you 20 of them but they haven't been verified in this rifle. The one that has is crazy accurate and is a great, great deer and elk killer.

I've been shooting a 7-08 since I was 18...

Nice snag Don! Thats what I get for taking the ol lady out for dinner. Missed a good one.

One of these days I’ll find another Sako Hunter Edge stock like that one, without the ridiculous wait from McMillan.

If you get tired of it, send me a pm if you wouldn’t mind. If for some reason you find you don’t like the Sako Hunter pattern for the Tikka, I have a Sako Classic Edge Fill I’ll trade you for it. I prefer the Sako Hunter pattern.

Thx
Craig
