I have two of them, both left handed.
.300 win Mag T-3. Have hunted this rifle hard. shot a elk 3 years ago in -23F. and it worked just fine. Accurate feeds perfectly and light. Plastic has held up just fine, and the stock fits me well. I did add sims recoil pad and threw away the factory mounts and replaced them with Talley light weights.
The other one is a wood stocked .243. shot great but I just rebarreled it with a #4 Kerieger in .260 Rem. Thinking about a aftermarket prone type stock.
the recoil lugs look a little fugly but I have shot the .300 quite a bit and nothing has moved and it holds zero just fine.
The triggers on both rifles easily adjusted down to 2# with no creep.
I like em.

I have over 1000rounds of .300 Win, mostly with 180 gr handloads and can see no damage or movement and the rifle is accurate.
BTW it cleans up nicely w/o excessive fouling.

Cub,
The Sims pad made a huge difference on my .300

Lefty C Hah! Most rifles are impervious to a few in-lbs over factory spec, but you're right- the T3 is not bubba proof

Not to mention I cannot believe how stiff they are for a factory plastic stock.
Amen brother!, I have a left hand Tikka T3 in 270WSM and the stock impresses me for a factory plastic stock. Very stout. Ive been very impressed with the T3 SS lite.

I'am in the market for left hand rifles. I been considering a Tikka T3 lite weight. None of the local dealers or gun shows have any for me to look at. There web site has been helpful.
I would like to know the good and bad. I'd rather own a Tikka than a Model 700. No worries, it will "OUT SHOOT" you...

I was considering a NULA, almost bought a Forbes a few weeks ago, but I've finally realized a Sportsman's Whorehouse T3 Superlite in 308 will be my next adoption.

My last outing with my Tikka. If the weather cooperates this weekend I am hoping to stretch it out to 600+.
