In particular a Tikka T3x with a 22 inch barrel, scoped.

Real world actual weight that you know for a fact. lbs and oz........

too light?

just right?

6lbs 3oz bare nekked...

7#2oz. T3 30-06 Leupold M8 6x42 M1. Perfectamundo.

The same rifle in different caliber/cartridge will NOT weigh the same.

I have a 6mm Rem, 270 Win, & 30-06 all in Rem Model Sixes.

The chamber length & dia makes a difference. More or Less metal.
The bore size makes a difference. More or Less metal.

The 6mm Rem is noticeably heavier.
The 30-06 is noticeably lighter.

The 270 is mid weight.

All Tikkas in DIFFERENT calibers will not weigh the same. I have 2.


Jerry

Yep, Jerry's right you cant nail down the exact weight unless you know what the rifle is chambered for....Hb

Yup agree. All the Tikka's I've owned have used the same barrel contour. My 24" 300 win mag superlite was 5 lb 15oz, quite a bit lighter than my 6.5 Creed lite with the same barrel length.

Understood,,,And what do those 2 weigh?

At this point not sure,

but likely .308 or 6.5 Creedmore.

Not to mention the difference in scopes and other small factors.

If I really had my way, Lite Stainless in .260

And often heard the claims on accuracy from these rifles,

Are you all in agreement with that statement?

For comparison, my t3 superlite 260 weighs 7.48lbs bedded in a B&C with aluminum bottom metal/shroud, Warne rings and a 3-9x40 Meopro. It weighed 6.49lbs from the factory with the wood stock. It looks like the lite model you want starts at a similar weight. I know allot of folks like to set them up lighter but even mine is noticeably lighter than the average sporter weight rifle. No complaints in the accuracy department

Oh yeah, you throw in different optics and mounts and the variables in weight are endless.....Hb

For sure. I went from shooting 165’s to 130’s to cut down on weight. 😆

My SS T3x 30-06 weighs 6 lb 2ounces 1 1/2 ounces more then my 270WSM Montana.

The weight of the 16 bore must have damn near killed ya,

Wiseneimer.......................

Sounds like a nice setup.

I see .260 listed on the Tikka website for leftys, but dang if i see one anywhere on the web market.

ps: You said 6.5 Creed or 308............ > 308 ....'should' weigh less .

Talk about splitting some hairs! I’m still a bigger fan of the OG T3 over Superlite’s and T3x’s.

I don't have the weight of mine handy with the current scope, but my .308 SL in B&C stock with Talley lightweights and a Minox ZA5 1.5-8X32 weighed 7lbs. 3oz. It now wears a Meopro 3.5-10X44.

Average weight of a loaded 30 cal. cartridge is just under an ounce.

The 30-06 that I had was right at 7 lbs with a Leupold 2.5-8X36 scope on it. +/- 1-2 oz. I don't remember the exact weight

T3x Lite Stainless in .308 with aluminum picatinny rail with leupold Mark AR 2-9x40 T2 capped turrets.

Weighs 7lbs 3.8 oz. with no sling or cartridges.


I could remove the rail, use a different scope and get to 7lbs or under, but even a .308 with full power loads starts to get a little snippy on the recoil. Which is not a problem when I'm hunting but makes it less fun for range sessions. But I'm getting to the point where I think a rifle in the 7.5-8.0lb range is my ideal. When it's loaded and I put a bipod up front I'm weighing in at 8 1/4 to 8 1/2 lbs.



You asked about the accuracy, and everyone talks about the accuracy. I must have gotten the last one made on a Friday before a long weekend because my first one did not shoot very well. It only shot hornady superformance 150's at moa. Everything else was 1.5-1.75 moa.

I sent it back to Beretta and they sent me a new one that has been outstanding in the accuracy department. Easily shoots moa with any factory load I've tried, and half moa with hornady whitetail 150's and Hornady Match ammo. I haven't handloaded for it yet because of that.

Bob.

I forgot this part of you inquiry. Sorry.

I'm NOT being smart.... I got my SECOND one, ok grin.

The reports ARE true.


Jerry

Tell us the story.

All rifles listed below have talleys except the creed that has DNZ rings. All wear factory stocks except the 308 SL.


T3X Lite 223 w/ 3-9 Leupy = 7 pounds even
T3X SL 308 w/ 3-9 Leupy & Mcmillan (Non Edge Stock) = 6lb 11oz
T3X Lite 6.5 Creed w/ 3-15 Tract Toric = 7lb 14oz
T3X Lite Compact 7/08 w/ 2-7 Leupy = 6lb 9oz

What the difference in weight between the T3 stock and T3x stock?

Anyone?

Motown, that compact set up would be the shizza.

Yeah sweet rifle but my kid claimed that one so I am screwed!

16, even tho I have a T 3 and T 3X, I won't break them down to weigh the diff.

NOW - if I have reason to do so, I WILL weigh them and report here.
I like both stocks. AND since 2003 I have not any problem with my T 3 Lite SS 270.

I DO prefer the steel recoil lug (insert) of the T 3X.

Other than that I can't tell any diff between the two.

Jerry

Lots of hair splitting and that comes from a guy that counts oz.....

I have several T3/T3X
I’ll try to remember to weigh the stocks but IIRC the X may be one oz heavier......WOW.....
😎😎

T3 Lite Stainless .308 in T3X stock, with factory rings, Limbsaver, and Zeiss 3-9X= 7lbs 5.3oz. Accurate as you could possibly want, and barrel cleans up with just a couple wet patches.

Sounds ideal, And I have not eliminated the .308 just yet,

Full blown loonyism....................................

It's the steel lug and shroud making it heavier and minor differences in the stock plus there is an adjustment screw embedded in the stock so you can change grips
