Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Tikka T3 CTR?

Probably couldn't build a rig that shoots as well for $950.

It doesn�t matter how well a rifle shoots if it won�t feed...

We can at 'Flave Precision.

But that's primarily because we steal most of the parts.

My .260 feeds like a champ, with nary an issue. Have only had the issue with spent brass hitting the turret and falling back into the action a couple times, but that was running it slow.

Both the .260s I've had are stupid accurate too. 123 Scenars absolutely hammer outta both guns, same load. I'll have another in .308, and I f they made a 1-8" it'd be a no brainer.

Milk jug stock.... chromoly..... whatever. I paid sub-$850 for mine, and couldn't be happier with the rifle and the performance.

I'm actually not disappointed in the stock. I know a lot of people don't care for them but mine seems pretty solid and it's comfortable to shoot with from the prone.

Mag box is 3"??

Travis,

Don't worry about feed problems. You only to need it as a single shot anyway. One shot with a Tika does it all. Unless of course if it was chambered in .270..

Little shy of that, about 2.95"... I'm running 123 Scenars at 2.865" and 123 Amax at 2.90".... Same BTO.



The only thing I did to mine was sand the moulding lines off, and took the two spacers out. With SS in lows it sets-up very nicely, and recoil is very manageable, even for new shooters.



Three different shooters at 600.... this was rounds #11-13 outta my CTR....



"Load Development".... Laffin....

Nothing shoots like the high end peasant rifles.



Travis

WTF?? You shoot from the throne?

Makes sense if you want to play with a POS.



Travis

I have always dreamed of house where you could hunt during the morning constitutional!!!!!!

Gives new meaning to "turd polishing."

Just dropped in this thread, nice coyote deflave.. with a .308 none the less.. Must try those 155 Scenar's.. Have a couple hundred..

Went back out Saturday afternoon and made three stands but got skunked.

Weather has been schit. Lots of snow, small break. Lots more snow, small break.

Calling always sucks when it's like this. For me anyway.



Travis

Calling here is very tough.. We have several contests early in the fall.. Educates them pretty fast.. Plus we have had mange knock down the population.. Last year was the worst coyote year I have had in maybe 25 years.. Hang in there..

Still lots of time. I haven't been out a lot but calling has been downright easy up until last Saturday.

No complaints here.

I see this a lot from Tikkas. I have one in .300 win mag and only time I have shot it thus far is with some loads chucked together in junk brass and it shot 1.5" off my elbows leaning on the bedside of my truck. With good loads and all I am sure it will be stupid accurate even if a little annoying in the recoil dept.

A local shop has 2 ctr's in. One in 308 and one in 260. I really like 6.5's but the 308 is tempting. They are priced at $907. Is that a decent price on one?
