Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Tikka T3 Stainless 7-08

But Tikka doesn't make short action receivers....they're all long. Would need to be rechambered and then a new magazine purchased, and should be good to go.

This a great rifle. I have a buddy who is a field rep for beretta USA and he said this gun is every bit as accurate as the flagship 85. They market this rifle 3 shot under 1" and the 85 at 5 shots under 1"........secret....the gun will do anything the 85 will do! Solid rifle. Solid deal. Proven caliber.....GLWS

I'd buy a 7/08 over a 280 myself, and I'd chop an inch or two off bbl to boot, forget any diff, I'd make it an even dandier rifle.

If tuition was not bleeding me of cash...somebody needs to snatch of this rifle.

As you can see, I have been a member of this forum for quite a few years. Enjoyed it, learned a lot, bought several item but have very few posts. I've always thought I could learn more by listening than talking. Since I already know what I know, talking about it won't make me smarter. By listening I hear others ideas and can decide whether to accept them or not. That being said, this thread is a bit of a conundrum. Two sides, trying to justify why their view is right. I see both sides as being reasonable viewpoints generated by good people.
Here's a question though.

If Johnny had been a member for years and made that FS post and 338 was brand new and tried to share public info regarding prices, I wonder what the opinions of the 338 side of the issue would have looked.

Change the bolt stop and get la mags and your in business. As stated tikka uses one action with 3 or 4 types of bolt stops.

First off, I have given up any hope of selling this rifle on here. Thanks to all who have looked.
Secondly, you couldn't make this schit up if you tried.

Now, onto the question DC ask us to ponder. Really? I mean really? If you put a lot of thought into that question, I am aghast. I can see why you don't post much, although this could have probably set a record as far as how quick you put up your reply post. (Given your time on the board) Seeing as how you like deep thinking, here is one for you to ponder.

"What if Romney had been elected instead of the current occupant of the White House. Would the economy look different?"

I think that is a gimme.


Thanks again to everybody, the rifle is not for sale anymore. Merry Christmas to all.

PS. Hey Cuss, if the situation were reversed, 338 was blessed with enough god given common sense to not make a stupid post about another rifle for sale or where to get it cheaper on someone else's for sale post. Especially when the post was in the classifieds, (for sale).

Tikka = long action with bolt stop.


P

And now I know!

But, but, but, but, what about the tipi? Is it still for sale too???

Listen you damn Indian, I wanted cash, not horses or squaws. Quit yer drinkin and
wanting to make "good trade". I sold it to a bunch of Blackfoot, if I were you I would watch my topknot. Tipi sold.

Aw the hell with it, the rifle is back up for sale. $675.00 shipped.

Hey, the offer was for 3 blankets and one hunting trip to the sacred hunting grounds......now you no want to go?

Bigger ones than this little dude in there....

Indian trying to pull bait and switch. This is not what deal was.

In a Tikka they are all one action size unless you own one of the earlier models.They still are very light weight and every one I have owned shoots lights out!!!

Ok, 5 blankets, one trip to sacred hunting grounds AND the squaw in my avatar.....last offer!

Good trade.
As long as the honey no speaky.

Damnnn, this thing is the post that won't go away. Kinda like a young lady I met in a bar many years ago. It were midnight and she was at least a 9, maybe even an 11. Next morning in the light of day she were a 5. For a while she just kept popping up, kinda like this add. Merry Christmas everybody.
