new stainless t3 rifles on market

open mailbox yesterday and there was a brand new hunting and fishing summer catalogue with that girl karen on the front smiling at me and holding a smallish kingi. anyway filicked thru the pages as you do, and i see that h and f have introduced to the market tikka t3 stainless with a twenty inch barrel that is factory threaded for a suppressor. it comes with a five shot mag that sticks out the bottom which to me looks dam ugly. for a few hundred bucks more it can also cum with a dan hardy suppressor fitted, and for a couple of hundred more it also comes with a cheap scope. it is on page 114 if feel the need to have a look. it will be intresting to see how they sell and preform. thoughts anyone ?

T3's are very nice and good value for money which is why i believe they've sold so well, i'd love to have one..... but if i was going to spend $1600-$2000 on a rifle, i'd buy a sako.
I appreciate it doesn't come with a threaded barrel and suppressor but its a nicer rifle and you can always save up and buy a suppressor later on down the line

Just my 2C

Mind you when i was on H'n'F on sat, i picked up and had a play with a Kimber, think im in love...

heard a few bad things about the kimbers.

I have herd bad things too but still didn't stop me falling in love with the one I picked up!

Show me the 'Perfect Rifle' and ill buy it!

What is the difference to the normal t3 which you send to Dan and he chops it anyway to fit his suppressor. Is someone reinventing the wheel?

But it's not for sale.

That stock pack sure aint perfect tho.

Oh? What's your objection? You don't like multicam? It's very useful + nice + actually good quality (Eagle) so

Yeah but it's ugly
put the brown or green one on

Barrel is about 2" too long too.

I saw a T3 in Dunedin at H/F last week
It had a spiral Fluted bolt and spiral fluted barrel, It was coated black by Greystone and all set off in B&C black/grey spiderwebbed stock.
I'd have preferred straight barrel flutes, but gotta admit it didn't look 1/2 bad.

I used to have a standard T3 with extended mag, it was pain frankly, as it was at the centre of gravity.
And a 20" barrel carbine T3 in .270 is frankly pointless, may as well get the 7mm-08 with the speeds it will be down to.

If it was perfect it wouldn't need the stock pack because the comb would be high enough.

My thoughts exacty

He's only got short checks.

When you are my age you need those cheek pad things. Our face cheeks (and our arse cheeks) are always sucked in from the Dr checking our prostate.

OK, you young 'uns probably don't understand what I'm on about.....

That's a reasonable position to take I suppose. I'd have one on there anyway because of the utility. If I was really concerned I'd get the rail etc machined so I could mount the scope lower, or get a smaller scope, but I'm not.

Hey Gimp.

6.5x47 Lapua.

I just bought a new T3 lite s/s in 308 today, it's my 3rd Tikka in the cabinet.
Got two different brands of bottom floor plates assy's and 10 shot mags, will pull it apart and see which one suits it best.

someone needs to make a bottom metal similar to the rem700 floor plate for the tikka
Id be seriously interested a double stack floor plate mag for mine

a mag that pokes out the bottom dusnt really interest me tho. Ill stick to my 3 shot

I'll take one in 7-08. Anyone want to buy a teenager?

Trouble is where i'm going with my T3 I will be coming across mobs of pigs some 20 - 30 odd at a time & don't want to be pissing around reloading, I too only need one shot to drop one. Don't really need a rifle that looks nice, just practical.
No semi's allowed.

why dont you look at those ten shot mags they have in auzzy then?

Its funny how in close to a hundred years the detachable mags have only gone backwards from the dirty old lee enfield
ten shot shaped not to jam into your back.

I got a Wild Dog kit and a CDI kit the other day, settled on fitting the CDI mag kit, pulled the rifle apart last night thinking I might be able to make it fit with a dremel but a bit of meat needs to come out so will take it to a mates workshop to have it milled. If he does it right you won't notice the nigger rigging.
I'll post a few pic's up before I re-assemble it.
