Thread: Howa Mountain alpine rifle or Tikka t3x

I've had tikkas but now just use my howa alpine, I dislike detachable magazines, prob won't get much lighter for the money, mines a 308 and shoots around an inch with whitetail 150gr factory, load development hasn't been going too well bit over an inch has been the best but haven't spent much time on it.
I'd say tikka would be more accurate out of the box. Check reloaders as they advertised the alpine at under $1400 in there recent catalog. They are also not stainless if that's a concern for you. But nice rifles in my opinion, don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon.
