I held a T3 stainless today in 243 at Sportsmans Warehouse. Think it might be my next rifle. Here in SC I don't need too much more since I already have 2 375's. Got a little 2.5-8 Leupy that would complement it nicely for deer and hogs. I got a box of 80gr TTSX that should work fine.

Here are 3 T3s. A 25/06,a 338 Stainless,and a 7 Rem Mag. I've dropped the 7 RM into a Hunter wood stock since this pic was taken. Here is her pet load. The 338 is no slouch either.

Here is the first and last load I tried in a T3 22/250 I had a couple years ago. Here she is in New Mexico on a little predator vacation.I use to be in the custom predator call biz. Dogwood Creek Calls.

I don't have a picture of a group from this rifle, but it shoots like the rest of them. This is my third one. (270, 7 Rem Mag, and this 7-08). I can't believe how well these rifles shoot. I love they way they feel and how slick they are. This one was harder than the other two to settle on a load. I was (and am) using the 162 A-Max and worked up loads with Varget, Hunter, IMR 8208, and H4350. Everything was okay, but it got great with the 4350 and playing with the seating depth. Going from 2.8 to 2.81 made all the difference. I don't think it's the gun being picky, that bullet is just really sensitive regarding depth for me. T3 Lite in 7-08 shooting the 162 A-Max at 2670. Limbsaver pad, Talley rings, Karsten cheek piece. Even though I've had no problems with the factory parts, I switched to a steel recoil lug and a Lumley steel bolt shroud. It has a Leupold Mark AR 4-12 with the Mil reticle on it, but I changed out the factory BDC dial for a straight MOA one. It has the Alumina flip-ups and a Sinclair level. I know a hunting rifle doesn't need all that, but I shoot a lot with it just for fun. At 5K elevation I run out of scope adjustment at 900 yards. (24 minutes.) Shooting a balloon that far out with a light weight rifle is a kick. My biggest peev with these guns is that I can't put my thumb under the scope and around the action to carry it they way I like to. Since it is usually on a sling or in a Kifaru Gun Bearer, I can live with it for the way it shoots.

I'll add mine to the list. It's a T3 Lite in .243 Win. Below is it's first group ever, shooting factory 95 gr Fusions. I bought it in September and really love it. Here's a whitetail I dropped at 295 yards, one month later. Eric

Tikkas kinda make you feel silly for playing around with builds.
