Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Opinions on Tikka T3x Rifles

Since someone has broached the subject....
Chevy / Toyota comparison.
Chevy has the LS 500+ horsepower series of motors.
So what does Toyota have???
Kinda relative huh......

A vehicle that doesn't break down or need repairs every month.

That won't fly. My last four GM vehicles all made 150k+ miles. No work other than tires, batteries and oil changes....
The days of poorly made American vehicles are long gone......

I haul my sub moa rifles from Finland, Japan, Germany and even a few from the USA to the range in my toyota 4runner.....as diversified as I appear can you believe i voted for trump?

Kinda my point. Use something long enough and the warts will show.

I've got a Tikka T3x in .308 and like it. Want to purchase a .30-06 now. Would anyone here pick a Tikka over a Winchester Model 70 EW in .30-06?

Tough question . I would not trade my T3x 30-06 for one, partially because of sentimental value and it is the most accurate 30-06 I have ever owned.

Laughable

I'm a Chevy guy. I recently bought my first Toyota (Tacoma). On a Toyota forum, I read all the posts by the fanbois about how Chevy's don't last etc..... Chevy's Trucks and RWD cars, in general, will last just as long as any Toyota. Toyota probably does better with FWD.

I bought the Taco because it felt a little better inside though with fewer features, It has better aftermarket support, and hell if I didn't like it, I could much more easily get my money out of it to buy a full-sized Chevrolet. I've got 75,000 miles on the Taco and don't plan on selling it unless it's to buy another Taco.

As far as horse power, I way prefer the LSx series of engines, SBCs and BBCs, but that inline six they stuck in the Supra can be built to hold over 1,000hp. That ain't nothing to sneeze at.




AS far as the Topic, I'm pretty pleased with the Tikka Lite Stainless I have. Thinking about another.

I sold an S10 with 251K on the clock, a Caprice with 220K on the clock.... They were good vehicles.

All day long.

Both vehicles no longer made by Chevy. Very Relevant

Leaning that way myself. I just cannot get over how they manage to build such quality into their products one after another. It's this thing called pride in workmanship.

I would. The Tikka will cost you a bit less and shoot just as good or better than the Winchester. Plus, with the popularity surge that Tikka is going through now, there aftermarket offerings for anything you may want to change out (bottom metal, trigger, stock, etc.) are becoming more affordable than those for Winchesters.

Finally, if you get the bug for a semi-custom, the Tikka is a solid action to build off of.

I have many rifles some are accurate than others. Tikka has been the most consistent. I have a Tikkas in 223 2506 6.5 creed 270 3006 7mm rem mag 300 win 308 win.

Sure. They still make trucks and they will have just as many miles. See it all the time.

True. Car makers introduce and drop models regularly.....

Yeah i have owned many new trucks made by Toyota (5) , Chevy (3) Ford (4) and I even had a new Dodge one time, I did not notice one be more reliable than the others, I think you can get a lemon in any brand 👍.....Hb

I’ve got 300k miles or close to it on all 3 of my Chevy’s with NO issues! They’re used like trucks should be used as well, not just for going to church and the pharmacy. 😁
