Thread: tikka t3 extra lite

hi i,m thinking of replacing my sako 75 2506 with one of these in 270, do any of youguys have any experience with these rifles,

How long have you been having these feelings? Have you experienced some recent trauma that may be affecting your ability to make decisions? Do you spend a lot of time thinking about other men / enjoy the company of women but don’t really feel the attraction any more?

If none of the above, maybe hang onto the Sako...

@hotsoup

Shoot like a tikka, lightweight, basically a poor mans carbonlight if you get a carbon stock, just without the class, refinement and with the tikka stigma (and if you're hell bent on 270 that stigma as well).

They still go bang and things still die.

Good honest rifle, a lightweight 270 will be a step up in recoil to manage.

Go for the Tikka T3x Superlite (specifically request Superlite, it comes with factory flutedbarrel)

Can't go wrong, probably reconsider the calibre though.

the ducks nutz especially with a stug stock

my 260 with vx3 came in on 2.8kg

Yes I have one in 270, very light and accurate rifle. Can't go wrong really. I'm also running a vx3 but minus the stug stock.

i like my sako but shes a pig of a thing when you have mod and scope and bipod coming in at 10.6 lbs, i was thinking it could be a bit kicky. thanks for the input i think its time to do some more homework

Be a fine hunting rifle man. Light and accurate.

I have recently bought a T3x superlite in 7m rem mag and am very happy with it ,had barrel shortened 2 inches and DPT can fitted. Have found recoil much milder than expected, in fact I think my ole BLR 308 has more recoil. Its more an issue of controlling muzzle jump than recoil.
Still getting used to shooting it but getting .5 MOA groups with Federal Fusion 150gr factory ammo which is all I have used so very happy.

well my mind has been made up, ive bought a tikka t3x in 2506, so have traded in my sako i,m gonna miss it but as i said shes a heavy lump. the tikka will be over 2lbs lighter
