Has anyone noticed if you're actually able to top load it? Not a deal breaker but curious to know.

Can't use cans here so that's no drama really but thanks for the heads up re. that.

I heard they were finnlight barrels, just thought it was weird they dont have them on the actual tikka site, still don't understand why unless it's just specific to the Australian and NZ market because of our hunting styles?

Cant just drop one in the ejection port and close the bolt on the t3, unless you buy a special mag follower. No idea if that is the same on the t3x though. You can pop one in and thumb it up the pipe to top it of, but I think youd be hard pressed to top load the mag like most single stack magazines

You sure mate? Ive done this for years with my T3's - 308, 6.5x55 and recently the 7mmRM.
