Nice. Where did you order it from?

 

[senior]

I'd love to have a T-3 SS Lite in 260!

Whats a T-3 sporter?

 

[GRiNGo]

can be checked out on the Tikka website.

Couple of them on the shelf in GP at Bartons in the 6.5x55 caliber.

6.5X55SM is another nice round to have. specially in Tikka T3 Sporter.

 

[Norma]

Nice, let us know how it shoots and a few pics.

How much $$$??

 

[GunBoy]

$1799+tex
You can get 2 of these for the price of Sako TRG22

They look interesting,but for the price I think I'd go with a Sako Varmint. Or even a special order Tikka Varmint for less and add a laminate stock from Gunworx.

I shoot the tikka t3 on Monday at Genesee, the 20" are very accurate, shooting my reload which I has put together the night before, best group was 1/4 and smaller, while large group are around 1/2". Overall 20" had give excellent result with no lost of accuracy or velocity, 175grain with 45grain Varget yield 2680 to 2720 while 168grain with 44varget yield 2675 to 2730. Result are very similar to 24" barrel before it was cut off.

This was obviously not a .260 or 6.5 x 55.

When you consider the price of a similar stock from gunworkz, the four month wait time and the fact that the barrel isn't threaded, you'd be splitting hairs.

You're running 42-44.5 gr of varget in a 260? No pressure signs? I always thought 37-38 was the max with the 140's. Very nice set-up by the way!

what is you Overal length of the Cartridge?, I am sure that with that much Varget, the speed would be some where around 2700fps in a 260rem.
