Tikka T3 battue in 308

[Redblack]

I just recently seen one of these rifles on clearance sale at a Local gun store for $800. Searching back in the forums I don't really see much info on them. Any owners here have any feedback on accuracy and reliability on this particular model?

Thanks

I had one in 308 very accurate but I foolishly sold it, but I still have one in 9.3x62 that is also great, they are lightweight and easy to carry all day

Ive been looking for a Battue in 308, if you dont buy send me a message to where it is and I will buy it.

I seen it at the southland Canadian tire in Calgary, they had a 308 and 30.06 in stock

Synthetic or wood stock?

Would be interested to know if that battue has a wood stock. Haven't found any with wood stock in Canada. Didn't think they brought them in?

Epps had one or two wood ones in 30-06. Sold now.

Synthetic, it was pretty light.

 

[mike t]

Thats a good price regardless

I have one brought in from Epps. Wood stock. Very few in Canada. However, I also had one in a synthetic stock, and it was fine. I would say that is a good price.

I have had a battle 308 for several years. Accurate as any of the Tikka's but the sights are great. Shoulders well for me. Easy to carry in the bush. I have three hunting rifles. If I had to keep one this would be it.

I'll have to call epps on monday day morning for a wood stock battue in 308!!!

Seems to be getting harder and harder to find tikka in .308 around Canada. Used at least

I have one in .308. Very accurate, very light, great smooth action. Highly recommend it. I was going to put a scope on it but I shoot it so well with the fibre optic sights I left it naked. I'm so smitten I'm getting another tikka in 9.3 for my first moose hunt.

Brought home the 308 battue lite, ordered the MaSi QD mount and plan to use my Monarch 3 1-4x20. Given my weak eyesight, this should be the perfect setup for this year's hunt. Can't wait.

By the way, the fella at Masina-Tuote said this was his third order for tikka mounts this week from Canada. He now has a (FRAUD ALERT) account for oversees buyers.

Good to hear about (FRAUD ALERT)... wire transfers are a pain.
You will be pleased with your mount. I might order another. I've had several PMs regarding my mount, which likely lead to all 3 orders from Canada.

What did the mount come out too including shipping? I ended buying that 308 battue lite.

$209.14 CDN includes delivery. Need to watch for taxes at border. I hope it will slide through.

Mine got hit with customs/duty BS, but I still felt it was worth it.

FYI... there's a Battue 308 on EE (sold) but he is also selling a barely used MaSi QD mount for $200.
