Thread: Tikka 3 lite 270

Mmm. To be honest mate I think you have rushed into this without asking or studying up on the facts. A shame as there are some real knowledgable pricks right here that would have helped big time with a LR rig.
The T3's I've owned have booted. I'm no expert but I think it's in the cheap stock design. Especially the .270. I think to be fair if you braked it and put a limbsaver on it and possibly a new stock i.e. Bell and Carlson or something else on it it will become a dream to shoot. When more money can be found that is.
Also a new rifle can 'often' settle with use and time with it. However a lightweight 'hunting' rig like the T3 in 270 will only occasionally become a mean long range shooter.
Good luck me bro!

You are 100% right Danny, I did rush into it it, was an impulse buy.
The crazy thing is I knew that most people said buy a 308, but I let the salesperson talk me into the 270.
I will see today if I can swap calibers for a penalty of $100 or something.
Don't like my chances but will ask anyway, they will probably want $300 or something.
