I just purchased a T3 varmint in .308 W/ a leupold 6.5x20 vxIII it was used . I paid $800.00 ..It was such a good deal that I met the guy at the range to see how it shoots before I made the deal.. I'll tell you I'm impressed I put 6 rnds into 1 ragged hole a little bigger than a quarter. -Kevin

Welcome to the Tikka club! Now you can see what all the fuss is about. I sure wish Beretta hadn't bought them. They stopped making left hand when they brought out the T3 :evil: I keep my eye open for used M595-695's now. Best factory rifle I ever bought:

Hey Kevin! Good to hear from ya! I wondered where you went. A lot of the guys from the old board are on the NEF board here. I didn't think you made the trip. Keep in touch. WDO

Gents would you use this firearm for a 300yd. shooter for mule deer? I have thought about getting a 270WSM or a 270. Has anyone shot this firearm and caliber? I bought it at a gun shop new and have never shot it, about 3 years ago. Thoughts? Buckfever

WDO, I've got a LH Tikka also, & love it. Its a .270 with a couple Montana mulies under its belt so far. Do ya think they'll ever make the T3 in a LH? Kinda like the looks of them.
