Tikka T3 SuperLite weight
- Thread starter 1899
- Start date
I got mine at wholesales. Cabelas has them too
I got one at Cabela's a few months back, in .300WinMag. Just under 7 pounds with a full-size Leupold on board in Talley alloy rings. I went slightly overboard on selling my old rifles and decided that I needed one stainless/synthetic do-everything rifle for back-up/loaner/just-in-case use. This one fits the bill beautifully, and shoots way better than it needs to. I'm toying with the notion of putting on a B&C stock from Prophet River, but that'll take me over 7 pounds...what a pig that would be!

How is the recoil and muzzle jump? I'm not the recoil-sensitive type and I take it that neither are you, but I am curious as I am considering a lighter stainless synthetic in 300wm.

Sorry for the double post, comments on recoil and muzzle jump? Manageable?
Finally got the rifle out to the range. I topped it off with Talley lightweights and a Zeiss Victory HT 2.5-10x50
Loads are 51.5gr of H4350, Nosler brass, 130gr Ballistic Tips and CCI BR-2 primers. This is the first and only load I have tried.

Add a Limbsaver and try lighter bullet weights. A 165 will do pretty much everything. The load I tried today is quite light, and is probably around 2800fps. This is my wife's rifle - her first - and I wanted something comfortable to carry and shoot. Even with such a mild load it will be deadly on deer sized game.
I had one in .338 WM and it weighed just over 6.25lbs with a Leupold 2.5x M8 in Talley mounts. It really got your attention with 250gr Nosler Partitions. Roughly equal in felt recoil to an unscoped .375 Ruger Alaskan shooting 300gr bullets.
