Already confessed earlier

Mmmm.... Did I buy the wrong gun? Tikka 270 came highly recommended, what's with all the friction? Or, being a newbie, am I missing something here?

There is just a lot of friendly rivalry going on between people who have preferences for different makes of rifle and different calibre's. We kiwis love to wind one another up about trivial stuff.

I'm a Tikka fan. But not so much of the new T3s. Pretty nasty :-/ but can't dispute accuracy and therefore, value. Older model 'Tikkakowski' rifles were beautiful and worthy of being called "poor man's Sako".

Can't speak for the bretikkas as I don't own one but anything pre T3 is pretty good os that's what I have.....in a mouse gun calibre too....which funny enough still shoots things dead...if I do my fucken job right.... . Night all

Tikka 270's are for blokes who are to shy to wear their dress in public .

Now Blaser's are a different story , if you want a manly firearm , think Blaser .

Firstly i may just happen to like wearing dresses!

Secondly in terms of rifle ability you don't get much more out of a Blaser than you do a Tikka, they're both accurate, both well made, both easy to use.
Sure Blasers are 'nicer' but are they multiple $1000 'nicer'!.... after handling one at the Sika Show i don't think so

Besides to a new hunter a Blaser is WAAAAYYYYY out of thier price range... Tikkas aren't.

Three comments.

Firstly, T3's are not nicely made. They are nasty production rifles.

Secondly, I am sure there are plenty of new hunters out there with enough disposable income (and good taste) that will consider a Blaser as a first firearm. Just cause you can't afford one does not mean they are out of reach for everybody.

And thirdly tikka's are poo's as a motherfucker!!!

'Nasty' was the key word there Happy.

Not debating the fact that most Blasers come off a production line. I will however add there are production lines with decent levels of quality, and correspondingly cost, and then there are production lines with "other" levels of quality.

Im sorry but what planet do you live on exactly!!!

How many 'new' hunters will consider spending $5000+ on their 1st rifle!

When i started i had a budget of $1500 to purchase EVERYTHING.

Sure the rifle took up a large portion of that budget but for a new hunter there are far more important things to buy 1st

You don't get out much do you.

Just because that's your reality does not mean it is everyone else's reality. Which is my point.

This is a subjective thread, that was started as a joke if you don't remember. There will be those that like T3's, nasty as they are, and those that don't.

You happen to fall into one camp and I the other. Doesn't mean either of us is correct, just that we have differing opinions.

I can't believe that so many people are getting their knickers in a twist because I happen to think that T3's are absolute junk.

Bitches......
