tikka t3

[m1978]

considering a tikka t3 in 338 fed. is this a good rifle (accurate) in general?

 

[doublelung]

Yes, in general

 

[david doyle]

very seldom if ever will you hear any complaint about a t3's accuracy. There are better rifles out there but you'd have to have a specific reason to pass over a tikka for them.

^^^ Ya what he said my t3 hunter 300wsm shoots real good and accurate and for the price can't beat it in my opinion.

I have a lefty T3 in .338 Fed. It will put 200 grain Federal Fusions into under an inch at 100 metres, so I haven't done any load development with it yet. I'm sure with the right handloads it will do even better.

I'm at the opposite end as far as caliber (I have a .204) but I love this gun. Nice light gun to carry. Very accurate, and very nice some bolt! You can't go wrong!!

 

[HighTeckRedNeck]

you might find the rifle a bit light for a 338, but a limbsaver helps alot

 

[GRiNGo]

I have 2 T3's and my friends have some. I love the trigger and they all seem to shoot very well. But YES a limb saver is a good idea for the 338fed. My bud has one and I've shot it.

I just bought a t3 lite s/s in 338 win mag. Loaded up some 210gr ttsx with h4831 tonight as well as some 225gr interlocks for sighting in. Looking forward to it.

ya i have a t3 lite stainless in 338 fed. shooting 215 sierras very little recoil. can carry all day no fatigue. accurate as i need, maybe an inch with my 4x scope

I have a T3 varmint HB in .300wm
Very accurate, I just don't like the synthetic stock, it looks cheap and I never found an after market stock for it.

 

[Bowie]

Bell and Carlson make stocks for the T3 series which are a big improvement over the factory jobs.

I have a T3 Stainless/Synthetic in 270 Win. I love the gun and it functions flawlessly. If I had to get really nit picky I would say I don't like the safety because it's hard to operate with gloves on. Other than that the recoil pad is a bit stiff. I also like the 338 Fed idea.

honestly if 338-06 were available i'd probably go that route, but ill take what i can get

I own a t3 in 243, I use it as my coyote rifle. Pretty accurate and with handloads does very well. There are a few things I don't like about the rifle such as the plastic detachable mag, stock and bolt shroud. But there are aftermarket stocks and aluminum shrouds to fix that. The triggers are fairly decent for a factory rifle to. Overall its a not bad choice.

I own two T3's, a synth/blue 243win and a lam/stainless 338 Win mag. Both are very accurate out to 300 meters, and the recoil of the 338 is quite manageable. Both are smooth lightweight and well fitting rifles. Add a Zeiss Conquest scope with its 4" of eye relief and exceptional lens quality and you'll have a great rifle for many years to come. ( You'll read that Conquest's have 3 1/2" of er, but they are actually 4")

I got mine in 6.5x55 and LOVE this rifle. I have shot several sub moa groups with it so accuracy is not a problem, it's light and the bolt is like butta, plus the trigger is quite nice for a 700$ gun it just can't be beat IMHO
