Please show me your Tikka

T3 Tac 308 with a Vortex 6-24 FFP. It's simply a dream!

Playing at the 200:

It looks a bit like random spraying but it's 5, 5 round shot groups at a time, except for the bottom strays where I changed from 168 to 180 grainers and had to walk it back up. Not that I'm a great shot or anything but this rifle makes me look like a pro.

This is my newly assembled T3V chambered in 308Win. The factory action and barrel ride inside a tube stock from Competition Machine (Gary Eliseo), who also supplied the bipod. Magpul PRS butt stock, Falcon Menace 4.5-18x50 scope.:puke:

Only one windy range trip so far, so no targets to show or claims to make.

For those who has the Bell and Carlson medalist which one is heavier compares to the original synthetic stock?
Today I weighed a bone stock T3 lite stock complete with pad and on my postal scale it was 1 lb 15oz. That's pretty light and it seems very well made to me. The Bell and Carlson is probably heavier but I'm guessing.

Just picked up this one for my son's Christmas present - a Hunter with sights in 06. Got QD Warne rings coming for it and need now to acquire some appropriate quality glass to top her off. This Hunter weighed in at just under 6 1/2 lbs. Guess a limbsaver will be wanted too.

My 2, both T3 Lite Stainless.
The top is a 9.3x62 w/Leupold VX-1 2-7x32.
Bottom is a 7mm-08, now w/Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40 as seen in the second pic:

The 9.3x62 has a LimbSaver and recoil is firm but I've never been hurt by it.
 
My first real T3 game shot.....a trophy feral goat with a 34.5" antler spread taken with my T3 Lite Stainless 9.3x62. Note the kiss on the forehead it gave me! :redface:

It's taken several other feral goats too.

Here's a fallow fawn I took with the same rifle in July last year:

Carrying it on an unsuccessful but enjoyable sambar deer hunt a week later:

And with another fallow fawn that I took with the 9.3mm this year in May:

Finally, blooding my new T3 Lite Stainless 7mm-08 on a hare at 120yds while spotlighting at a local vineyard last month:

I hope to nail some deer and hogs with this new rifle.
 
Please do a build thread on the next one like Bobfortier!

I'm gearing up to start trying my own, probably be a decade before I get something reasonable, but I do love reading those threads!

Very nice work.

Thanks and if you want to check out my build threads just click on my name and check out "started threads", might start another in rimfire here in a bit.
