.243 win. Tikka t3x

[tinymike66]

Hello...seriously looking to get a Tikka t3x in .243.
Heavy stainless barrel.

Anyone use or have opinions on this rifle?
Use will be primarily Bench 100yrd to 600yrd
And coyote varmint hunting.
Also if it's capable to take deer that would be a bonus.

Price is 1299.00 is that fair?

Thanks

You won't be disappointed. I shoot up to 95gr real nicely. Also shooting Hornady Superformance 58gr v-max into tiny holes. Haven't tried anything heavier. Only complaint is the 1in10 twist. Wish it was at least a 1in9 so I wouldn't be afraid to shoot the heavy stuff. Al Flaherty's has a slightly better price right now.

Gas or shipping will eat that difference up pretty quick...

Dual purpose varmint and deer blasting is precisely what the .243 is designed to do.

He never stated where his location is in relation to the location of the rifle he is questioning is located either, nor his method of getting it. He only questioned pricing. I gave him sound advice based on the question asked.

Great rifle, I have a varmint t3 in 223 it's very accurate. I also have a T3x light in 243 stainless and with cheap federal blue box it's under moa at 100yds. I was on the fence about getting the 243 varmint over the light but this one's my packing ,quad rifle .
