t3 s/s lite .308 win i love this rifle, the rifle loves 150g hornady superperformance sst. I would love to get a second t3 in 6.5x55 laminate

T3 Lite blued. .300 Win. Mag. Kind of big for a new all-around'er, but that's how much I like it.

Got my T3 lite in 300WM last summer and am very impressed with them. By far the smoothest mast produced action I seen yet.

Two T3's both stainless synthetic. One in 223 and the other in 30-06. They are spledidly accurate rifles and very comfortable to shoot.

ss t3 lite in 22-250. i like it so far, i've had it a few months but have never sighted it in or fired it. silky smooth bolt throw.

Tikka t3 in 338 federal. Use barnes 185 gr tsx, nice setup.

They don't have the right "feel" for me, but I've shot a .300 WM T3 (synthetic stainless), and the thing was dead accurate at 100 yards. I put 3 rounds in a 1" group first time! Like I said, not for me, but you can't argue with the price and accuracy.

T3 Hunter 223 Rem in Canada Post's hands; hope to have it by weekend range shooting.

Is there anyone else with a 338 win mag in a Tikka T-3 that would care to chime in? I am looking at getting one, but not sure if the recoil lug can handle the thrust.

Why would it not be capable?

 

[CNADNSL8-5]

T3 lite stainless. 30-06. love it.

. Not much of a recoil lug would be my 1st guess. But U never know with today's technology

How many have you had fail?

i shoot a t3 laminate in 338. full power hand loads no problem. recoil lug still looks like new.

Thank-you.

I was just wondering, there have been rumors that with Tikkas aluminum slide in recoil lug,there maybe too much thrust on it with a 338 win mag. causing inaccuracy issues.
I have no first hand knowledge just asking if there were any members who had seen any of these problems first hand.

I have a T3 Lite in 25-06
Slicker than an eel in an oil drum

I got a M695 lefthand in 6,5X55 with a Meopta 3-12x50 on top!
best rifle i own! accurate and reliable, a bit heavy with that scope but i dont care because this rifle makes me look good on the range!

Pessimist........
You make that rifle look good on the range.

One day I am going to own one of these T-3's.
I seem to flavor the 270wsm.
How would recoil be compared to this same rifle in a 308win?
I'm a tad recoil shy and at my age I don't care to pick up a flinch.
No April Foolz on this.
Cheers.

I had two T-3 lites, a 9.3x62 and a 338 WM, both excellent rifles.
My hunting partner, a superb machinist made up steel recoil lugs for both rifles and bedded them.
Now I'm not saying the factory lug is or was inferior, I just felt better about using both rifles as they ( 7+lbs.) had fairly substantial recoil.
As the saying goes..... An ounce of prevention......
