    Hold on there young man.
    Tikka? I believe they ran out of them after the M55/65
    Just called them the same name, bit like Fords really.

    I'm yet to figure who's on who's side here
    However
    I've used M55, right through to m695and the 590/95 in between
    Like Tikka, jut not fussed on the T3, still, when a young fellow at work asked what to buy for around here, I say T3 7mm 08

    Just got back from gunworks after getting the chop to 17".

    Pretty light and compact wee thing. Looking forward to taking it into the hills.

    not realy new but a few mods since built a year so ago so here's the 260 (new and improved)
    tikka t3 action (blued)
    trueflite ultra match fluted and duracoated 18" 1-8.5 twist
    dpt over barrel
    egw rail + burris z rings
    Nikon 4.5-14x40sf

    still need to glass bed the action as its not the best fit in the world but its shoot able as is till funds allow

Size:  1.03 MB This has been my rifle for 30 years, its a 358 norma on a P17 action and a Douglass Preimum barrel 26 inches long built by Din Collins. just got it back from Scott Trail who fitted the T2 brake as the recoil was to much for me now. It kicks less than my 308 now, great brake

    I think it was the late great Bill Axbey that once quoted, the 358 Norma was the best kicker of all kickers he ever owned

    It weighs 4 kilos and i get a 250 grain spitzer doing 3000 fps .The muzzle brake has upset the barrel harmonics and ill have to sort out a new load, its opened out to a three inch group
