Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Tikka T3x Superlite

For those who have one, thoughts please.

Read the internet reviewd.

I'm thinking about picking up a 300 win mag for no other reason than I'm bored, lack a .300 Win, have brass and bullets, and have never owned a Tikka.

I realize the pad should be upgraded to a limbsaver, will probably use Talley mounts, and have a Swaro Z5 on the shelf.

LOP seems to be about 13 7/8 or so, which is perfect. I believe the safety locks down the bolt, which I prefer.

What are the negatives?

COAL?

I've got a T3X Superlite in 6.5Creedmoor that I've been pleased with.

Though not a traditional 300Win mag bullet weight, I would be curious to see how the 130gr TTSX bullets would do. I would imagine a good bit less recoil.

Going to shoot what I have onhand for now, which is the 180 TSX, 165, 180 and 200 Partitions, and the 180 Swift Scirocco.

I have a 7MM-08 Superlite - didn't want to like the Tikkas but its hard not to like how they shoot:) Become one of my go to rifles, did swap out the stock for a McMillan not because I don't like the factory one but got a screaming deal on the McMillan.

People will laugh at you.

16Bore, you still milling Talleys for the Tikka?

I like mine...

Came across that during my internet search.

Nice set up.

Whittaker’s is doing them now...

I have had several T3/T3x rifles chambered in .300 Win, every one of them were excellent rifles ( I sold my best one to a buddy that offered me $100 more than I paid for it, " his" Superlite .300 Win shoots one tagged hole @100 yds ( yet another rifle I should have kept 😁) I have a Sports South special Superlite .300 Win in My safe that shoots sub MOA with my handloads.....These are fantastic do-all rifles but this site has quite a large "Pink panty" recoil crowd that Cant believe anyone can subject themselves to such recoil punishment As it would almost certainly brake them in half....Even though you did not ask opinions on caliber They will certainly suggest you buy a Creed 😁.....Good luck....Hb

Excellent, thank you.

VA, do you have notes on your loads?

Mostly looking for bullets and COAL.

I do, I will be glad to PM you some info when I get a chance tomorrow 👍..I can say the 1:11 twist on these rifles aint picky but most of the ones i developed loads for liked a 165 bullet best, and I am a big fan of Barnes TTSX bullets.....Hb

These are an excellent upgrade 👍....Hb

I really like my 243 SL. I bought a couple different types of ammo for it, but the first three shots were a clover leaf at 100 and I have it zeroed in six shots and the seventh took a Michigan spike this year. I did buy used modded Talley's that work great and are low. I didn't like the hollow sound when I hit the stock so I swapped it for a wood stock with a rollover cheek piece, I don't remember the model it came off. I like it more now.

Tikka T3X superlite 7-08 , the most accurate rifle I own.

Shot this group today with some 120 Bt's/ Re-15. @ 300 yrds. .75 grp.

Accuracy doesn't seem to be a problem, does it?

Tikka misses much mechanically and mechanics just "happen" to matter. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Doubly so...in their L/A offerings,due COAL,if only as per always. A Teeker 300 Hunnert Belted,will be easily slapped around by chamberings of lesser capacity,in other offerings,due the difference in Mechanics(RPM/COAL/Throat Geometry). Conjure up THE best Teeker 300Winny pitch and the peecture sure in the fhuqk,ain't very purty. Hint.

No boolit thus far cited is worth a fhuqk and very easily slapped around by a .473" offering,if only for fhuqking starters. Hint.

Facts & Physics ain't for everyone,which never ain't not fhuqking hilarious. Hint.

Bless your heart.

Laughing!.............

Thanks Stick.

COAL has me concerned.

Take a look at the replacement magazines at tikka performance. Not sure but it may give you more length than the factory plastic mags.
