Hello everyone I am new here this is my first post. I just bought a new Tikka T3 lite SS in .25-06 last thursday, after loading some 100 grain nosler ballistic tips I was able to group them well under an inch @ 100 yrds, I am very impressed with the gun, I liked it so well I traded my new Rem. model 700 XCR .300 win mag for a Tikka 7mm mag this one is SS with a nice looking Gray Laminate stock, This one is a shooter also!!! I cant believe the trigger on these guns out of the box!! I had to have a good friend that does alot of gunsmithing tune my Rem. 700 trigger and it still wasn't this nice. The only thing I didn't like was that the standard calibers are 22" barrels instead of 24" and the magnums are 24" instead of 26" OH well they shoot little bitty groups that's more important to me anyway. Great forum here!!
