Thread: 7x57 users out there

Usually very easy to get to shoot straight, and mild on the shoulder, a fun calibre with plenty of options if you dont reload, and lots more if you do. If you can find one at the right price, an old BSA Viscount [commonly called a "Hunter" but the Hunter was only made in 22 Hornet and 222], slap a decent scope, 4x or 2-7, and go shoot some shit.

All bull shit aside unless you get a good second hand 25 year old rifle if it dont shoot you think ,I will stick a new barrel on and it goes a lot better.then throw a bedding job at it and it relly starts to go good, and then the trigger a bit heavy I might stick a timney in and all of a sudden your $350 bargain aint one.
You know why I say this?
Because I have done it!

Nice new watch you have there andy

Andy, don't get carried away
I have owned a fair few rifles myself
Tikka M55 308, M595 270, M690 22-250 them all shot well . The Tikka M690 in 22-250 that I liked so much I bought it back off the shop I traded it in.
I've had three dealings with the T3, one a mate bought on my recommendation in 6.5x55 that shoots like a dream with N560
A 7mm 08 that I bought and traded back within a month for an Abolt in tha same calibre simply because it felt cheap, and another 7mm08 that my bro in law bought that I persisted with for ages and couldn't get it to shoot worth a damn.

Seems to me they are pretty much the same as most others.
I've a young friend that has bought a T3 in 7mm magnum with a Gunworkes supressor, last weekend we tried her out, he's a young fellow and he's getting groups under an inch with factory ammo [ cheap federal]

Take from this what you will, seems some do, some don't
I currently don't own any Tikka's and unless I find an older one I fancy, I probably never will

The forum was a bit boring for a while. This shits entertaining.

If we want to make a T3 thread, then we should.
