I imagine they would have something that would work.

My 300wm has the trigger lightened, its awesome but did take about 20 rounds to get use too.

hahaha

ive had one and i sold it..it was molested in my car with a mate and a ciggi..stock pissed me off every time i saw it

I own 3. One has recently been reconfigured (in projects/builds section as tikka in disguise) from factory i used them very effectively on steel to 1k. If was looking for another rifle tikka would still be my first point of reference. Ive also owned model 7 and few other rifles and still go back to tikka. Some like them some dont. Go and play with one. What some people say are pros or cons for thay not be for you.

If everyone would just accept tikka are the best in the world bar none we could just move on and the world will be a happier place and average group sizes will shrink as more convert

+1!

If you think all i shoot and owned are tikkas you are sadly mistaken as i have owned a menagerie of rifles over the years from remis savages sakos ect
I base my information on facts not hearsay and if you do a bit of research on myself you will see that my tikka has accounted for few more expensive rigs in competition!
I also own a trg42 and a savage police tactical and they dont shoot any better than my tikka 6.5

I'm with Andy. I've owned expensive factory and custom rifles. If you need some reasons to get a T3 7mm08





A great rifle for all NZ big game. Great for carrying on extended walks too. Nice and light. Buy one.

Nice photos of dead deer, but not really relevant at all - I'm sure there are plenty of folk who could post just as many photos of dead deer with an SMLE or something.

Yeah maybe. Put up some of yours then or some groups you have shot ?

The guy was asking about a T3 in 7mm08. I gave him some feedback.

A good combination of rifles as have a soft spot for the husky and the 3006 and good to see the nz bit of equipment as well.
I have thought about the ar platform but decided i need to master what i have got with the time i have spare!
funny comment about the estwing as i had one years ago and went to a plumb but i have gone back to the estwing the last couple of years and modified the head with thin cut of wheel hatching which stops the staples slipping when climbing into the tacking off!
I do notice the calibre gap between the 6mm and the 3006 so a nice tikka in 260 or 6.5 would do the trick!
one last thing, there is nothing wrong with a small eel; as there is no hole it wont fit in!
Glad you have a sense of humor!
Cheers Andy

This one snow balled quick
Shit where's the popcorn icon ??

I must add that the ESTWING 22oz would be the hardest hitting of all and the smoothest and lightest to use.
