Thread: $1400....What would you get?

you must have got the one in ten thousand dud.
I agree with the post that tikka just work with a trigger adjustment your good to go.
I have had savages Remington weatherby and done loads for various other brands and you can stick the rest and just buy something made in finland as it will save you grief in the long run.

Presumably the accuracy could have been improved with different ammo and/or rifle tweaking and the trigger could have been adjusted better, but it sure as hell wasn't flawless.

Shot it back to back with a Savage and I can't think of a single thing the Savage didn't do better. Trigger, action smoothness, safety ergonomics, accuracy. Oh the T3 was lighter because I was comparing it with a wood/blued Savage, the synthetic versions are about the same weight.

No problems with fussy triggers or feeding hollow points for my Savages (probably only tried HPs in 22lr and 223 I think). Maybe you were unlucky with them and I was unlucky with Tikka, you can get the odd bad example from any manufacturer.
