Just bought 2 new Tikkas
« on: March 31, 2007, 06:06:54 AM »
  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!!

 Hey Solo
  Welcome to the Finnish family of finer firearms.  ;D Watch out you'll be looking for a Sako next,ha ha. My first was a double too,one for my son's first rifle and was so amased a factory rifle could shoot so good out of the box,I ran back and grabbed one for myself before the shops last one was gone traded a Weatherby for mine,been a never ending story ever since.

I'm sure that you will find that pretty much all Tikkas are shooters.  And as for their triggers, they are arguably the finest production triggers out of the box!
