My Tikka T3 lite in .270 has been my hunting rifle for past 11 years ,it is a great rifle. Three years ago I bought a T3x in .308 also a. Great rifle

Have a tikka superlite in 7mm rem mag. Fluted barrel and one of the best triggers ive had on any rifle in any price range. Shooter too, but most all tikkas are. Youll be happy

I have a lefty 243. I shoot 87 and under, only cause there is no need to go heavier. 70 grain Berger HPs make 1 hole groups at 100 yards.

Here is the fast twist 22-250, can’t wait to get it sighted in. Loaded some 62 TTSX, and some 62 Bear Claws to try next week. It’s gonna be my designated piggie rifle.

I own several and I really like them!

Headed out to make the trade. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning haha.

Trade complete. I have never felt a bolt so smooth. The trigger is 2.5 - 3 pounds I'd bet and there is no take up. Now off to size some cases.....

Let us know how it shoots.

My only Tikka is a Forester in 9.3x62.
Trigger is fine (but who shoots a 9.3 from a bench if your not siteing in.) I have a synthetic/plastic and the factory wood stock. If all my other rifles went away, I could hunt the rest of my days with that Tikka and never loose sleep about it.
Moose and Bear take notice when a 286 gr. .366 cal. bullet pokes them in the ribs. My only complaint with this rifle is tha magazine capacity. More is better...
My CZ 550 FS 9.3x62 holds 5 rounds in the magazine. Not a bad rifle either but I like the Tikka better.

I have a t3x lite in 30-06 shoots great!

I have two older M65 Tikkas in 30-06 from the mid 70s. I also have a T3 in 6.5 Swede. They all shoot just over half inch groups. M65 #1 has accounted for many freezers full of moose and deer meat over the years and has digested somewhere around 2,000 rounds of ammo. I had the stock cut down for my wife and a decelerator pad put on, and she has killed two moose and a couple deer.

The T3 is a real pleasure to shoot. Factory green box ammo out of the box gave me an inch and a half 3 shot group at 200 yards. Son in law has a 243 Varmint that shoots one holers at 100 yards.

Good Rifles.

I think you’ll be happy with it. I have 2 SS Lite T3s and 1 SS Lite T3X. 270, 30-06, and a 7RM. All three were easy to find sub-MOA loads for, and the 270 and 7RM are my two most accurate big game rifles. I know it doesn’t matter from a functional standpoint, but it kind of bothers me that the short action cartridges are built on long action receivers. That’s why I’ve only bought long action cartridges. If that matters to you, buy something else for your short action chamberings. Otherwise, Tikkas are great guns.
