Well Bigbill, that has to be on the top 10 list of the dumbest responses that I have come across...:runaway:

Perhaps it is a case of out-of-control ego, but I like to think that I top the list.

Bigbill has a small one so he compensates with these types of ludicrous responses ...and let's not forget his over compensatory handle, "Big".

FYI

I ordered a 6.5 Tikka T3 Lite with stainless barrel and synthetic stock from Epps Epps about a year ago.

I also bought a Leopold Var-X III 2-8 scope for it. A smoother rig you will never see. It had fantastic ergonomics, a very slick action and undoubtedly would have been a tack driver. But I never actually fired the thing, as I was so disgusted by its soulless, artless visage, it made me feel sick just putting it to my shoulder.

I sold that rifle, never having fired a single shot. No doubt, it went to a nice, practical fellow, who pays his taxes and takes out the garbage when his wife tells him to. He can keep the T3. I want a man’s gun, one with a bit of character and flash. I will take a Winchester, a Remington, or just about anything else besides.

There is a good argument in favour of the Mercedes Smart Car, and many may be forced to own one for economic or other reasons of practicality. But would any man really want to own one? Could any man love such a thing?

And if you don’t understand any of this, then there is no point in me trying to convince you. You either have a pair or you don’t. As far as I am concerned, guys who own the cute little Tikka rifle are the same kind of guys who are members of the Liberal Party of Canada. They have big smiles on their simple faces and a yellow stripe down their spineless backs. Tikka should issue coupons with their guns. Buy a Tikka and you get a free decaffeinated cappuccino and a box of tampons.

The Tikka was made for such “men.” Or is it the other way around?

You are correct, in that I have never fired a Tikka. In fact my claim with regards to their alleged unreliability is based solely upon anecdotal evidence.

A member of the RCMP and friend of mine told me about a domestic call-out he dealt with recently. It seems that a same-### couple had a verbal argument that degenerated into a physical confrontation. The two fellows began tearing each others hair, with much scratching and biting. One of the men grabbed his Tikka T3 rifle with the intention of shooting his male lover. Fortunately, the rifle jammed and no harm was done. The two later reconciled over a cup of decaffeinated cappuccino.

I admit that this is hardly conclusive proof of Tikka unreliability and perhaps I am guilty of overgeneralization. After all, a heterosexual rifle, such as a Remington or Winchester, might also have jammed up.

Sorry ladies.

I have owned Win, Rem, Sav, Ruger, Browning, Weatherby Vangaurd & last year bought a Tikka Tactical. Just sold my other 2 Vangaurds & bought another Tikka Tac. Will be getting a T3 in 300 Win Mag before hunting season.

Haven't had problems with mags, had a ton of problems with my Sav 110C mags. If I had 3 rnds (.300 WM) in it, I couldn't get it to lock & would later fall out so I only put in 2 rnds. Also after a couple of years, the rnds (2) would pop out while the mag was riding on my truck seat.

SIR is the cheapest for mags & Russell's Sports cheapest for the T3. IMO
 
Are you for real? I think you have some real issues. You obviously are not comfortable or secure with your ###uality, which has led you to lash out at homosexuals, Tikka's and finally decaffeinated cappuccino.

lol

I'm not quite sure whether I should be insulted or laugh at big bill's remarks.

After trying out the Ruger (not bad... probably my next rifle), Savage and the Remmington, the Tikka and Sako had the smoothest actions. Nothing even compared to them, frankly. I loved the way it felt.

Also, when I took it out, it fed, discharged and ejected perfectly. There wasnt a doubt in my mind, not even a thought of it not being reliable.

The reviews already out there speak for itself -- I'm merely just providing more results which are certainly among the norm!

.....................:D Dats funny!!!! I never liked them only because they just looked to "plasticy" to me. But now that you mention it, maybe Smart cars and Tikka's go hand in hand. :D

I don't think there's a connection between a firearm and a ###ual preference. But whatever....

You called it brother... Bigbill's constant homosexual references are undoubtedly rooted in his own suppressed ###ual identity.:slap:
Just another Troll.:feedTroll: .. :wave:
 
All this clip talk makes me nervous! I can see it now... out in the bush... hear a hair raising grunt...and here comes a rushing bull moose! Ooops my clip fell out! Better make my first shot count!

My dad's Kleingunther has a great system. The floor plate is on a hinge. You open it. Snap in your clip in to the gun and then snap close the floor plate.

No worries of loosing the clip.

Oh well, that changes everything!

You are well qualified. I stand in awe of your superior expertise as you obviously have done extensive and exhaustive research which trumps my several hundred rounds through my Tikka. I guess the accuracy and the flawless feeds are just flukes. I am glad you told me this so I can be on the lookout for a jam now. I also suppose the Winchester M70 I've used in the same caliber and got looser groupings on was also a fluke - what a shame I sold that rifle to finance this s**tty little Tikka that prints consistently tighter (which is a fluke of course).

Thank goodness you are a member here! I mean after all, ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE just trumps my ownership and use of both platforms in hunting and target shooting.

Perhaps the Tikka was loaded with the wrong ammo?...

Yep. I agree that Tikka's are crap. Who cares about the raving reviews from Field and Stream, Gun's and Ammo, The Shooting Times, and many many other's. I'll go with the review from the godly type figure Chuck Hawks. He's always right. Always an open mind to other's, never conceited or opinionated. :rolleyes:
