The T3 is pretty crude, rough sticky gritty feeling bolt and cheap arse stock. But they shot well and are great value for money.

Shame to hear the standards are dropping though as this was their styling point.

And yet when the M595 came out I thought they were an abomination (compared to my LSA-55, a true Tikka) pampering to the American market. Now though they hold their place in the quality field.

My old man has a mint LSA65, now that was when Tikka made proper premium rifles, as good if not better than a Sako.
