Tikka T-3 SUPER VARMINT!

[BIGREDD]

Tikka T3 Super Varmint is available for 2006.
They have added an adjustable cheek piece, a piccatinny rail, integral Optilock scope mounts and an extra large bolt handle.
Stainless 23 3/8 inch heavy barrel with the composite stock only.
According to the catalog they are available in 222, 223, 22-250, 243win, 260rem, 7mm-08, 308win, 270WSM, 300WSM, 25-06, 6.5X55SE, 270win, 300WinMag, and 338WinMag. But Beretta USA lists them in three calibers only.
I have shot the Varmint stainless models in a 223 and a 22-250 and these rifles are extremely accurate long range rifles.
I would love to own one of these in a .243 or a 260Remington... Leupold Long range Varmint Reticle... Wile E Coyote look out.
Any one got a Varmint stainless in any caliber?

nice sales pitch Redd! You know I was looking to get the 243 Win last year in the S/S Varmint

 

[BIGREDD]

I won't sell you one Chilly.... can't have you outshooting me.
These things will be long sold out before groundhog season opens up... there are only a few in the country and you know the story on backorders.

Well I just bought some .243 dies from Bartell so now all I need is this rifle.
I took a good look at it and it beats every varmint rig out there minus the Sako 75 Varmint (The god of all varmint rifles )

Cheers!!

 

[BIGREDD]

Well a bud of mine just ordered one in .243... I sure hope he gets it soon. I have the only 500 yard range in the area... I get to shoot all the good stuff

Life sucks eh????


Should be interesting to see what it does. I wonder how the supervarmint shoots compared to Chilly's T3 in 243.

 

[BIGREDD]

I think the main difference will be in repeated shooting on hot days... the light profile barrel on the regular T-3's will heat up and... well... you know the drill. I like a heavy taper for varmints... or a bull barrel for sniping from one position... they are just so damn heavy for carrying for miles.

Well I've got a Tikka T3 SS Varmint in 300 Win Mag, still on order. Should be here soon. It's only been 5 months so far. I guess I've got another month or 2 to go. Can't wait to try it out, once I get it.

No .204 Ruger??? : (
