I wanna be your first reply!!!!!!!!  :-D  I had a T3 in .338 WIN MAG, great gun but I couldn't handle the recoil out of such a light package.  I would buy another in a different caliber in a heart beat.  Welcome aboard friend  :D

I'm glad to hear that you are pleased with your Tikka (although I'm not surprised).  I own many Tikkas and I love each and every one of them.

Congrats on the rifle, and welcome to GBO!
