Tikka T3
Mine is a T3 lite stainless in 7mm Rem Mag and its a cannon
. I actually had to take mine back to the shop to get some picky work done on it but it is insanly accurate. My advise is get an extra mag just in case! There like $100 but next year it'll be $110 and so on. good shooting!

The only problem I've had with mine is the discolouration of the trigger
WTF IS ON YOUR FINGERS???

Sounds to me like "somebody" has been touched by a Finnish uncle? Bigbill, we won't hold it against you... unless you want us to....?
I was at the range yesterday with my T3 in .338 Win Mag. I tried it without the limbsaver pad to see what it would be like Lets just say it was a bit stout. I had the pre-fit limbsaver pad with me so I put it on and fired a few more groups. It was a big diffrence! I would imagine a .270 would be really tame with the Limbsaver if it makes a .338 Win Mag nice to shoot.

The horror. The horror.
Is this what the industry is coming to?
So it can shoot, so what.
The Smart Car apparently runs well. But it is something a 19 year old salesman might drive, or maybe a sleezy stripper.
Gentlemen, look at the cheap, disgusting stock; the hollowed out bolt handle. They will tell you the handle is designed to save weight, but you know damn well it is a cost cutting measure. Look at the bolt, half plastic to save another two bucks. This thing has all the appeal of a STEN gun.
In the words of DEVO, “are we not men?” Have we sunk to this? If things are so tough that you cannot afford a real gun, then wait and save up your money until you can do the right thing.
Would Don Cherry buy a Tikka T3? We know the answer to that.

I had my T3 300 WSM on the range on friday, I got 5 shots in .78 with 180 accubonds, the first handload I tried, so I am happy with it. Had to let the barrel cool for a few minutes after the 3rd shot. Not using any rifle vise or cradle and I had a 100 dollar bushnell banner on it. Though I think I will eventually put a Leupold on it. Tried 165 gr Partitions and it shot just under an inch with 3 shots...
I had a limbsaver pad on it. Its sharp recoil but nothing special....

Just can't warm up to those plastic wonders, no matter how well they shoot! And most Tikkas shoot quite well. But each to his own, if you don't mind the look and feel, then fly at it! Personally, I'll never own one. Regards, Eagleye.
I have had synthetic in the following, Remington, Savage, Winchester, Tikka, Stevens, Mossberg, Sako and Weatherby Vanguard. Sako has the best synthetic stock and then Tikka.
I prefer nice wood to synthetic stock, but you are always concerned about marking the stock. The synthetic stock is more of a useable tool, while nice wood looks and feels better.
