Thread: Tikka 3 lite 270

Personally as a hunting rifle the T3 lite .270 is hard to beat but if you think your going to shoot targets with it all day I don't like your chances. The recoil is going to beat you or knock the crap out of you because that isn't what they're designed for. Mine doesn't seem to group well with factory ammo so a home load that can be fined tuned to achieve a good MOA @ 100m - 200m but it does group well enough for hunting purposes.I did use the bench rest due to recoil though .2 or 3 shots in the course of a days hunting no problem.

I shoot mine all day at gongs. No dramas at all
