    Good. Nice.

    I have to "come out". After 35 years of wood-blue rifles (first one I bought myself after using Dad's 303 SMLE was a M55 Tikka in 308 followed by many others but favourites have been a BSA "Hunter" in 7x57 and latterly a couple of Mauser Kurz's) I finally got a Tikka T3 Lite SS in 6.5x55. Its a damned fine rifle and apart from the balance when carrying I like it a lot, has all of the "pros" I've ever read on T3's and none of the supposed cons bug me.

    Great set up mate. Wouldn't find too many more accurate or lighter than that. Also good choice of glass. I have a Z5 swaro on my .270 sauer and love it

    I think the first lot was done by Gunworks before I brought it who did the fluting and barrel shortening which is 20," then I had Dan Hardy do a full half bolt and safety mod and fit a gen 5 onto it and Jason at Senator did the stock.
