RE: Tikka T3 Lite .25-06
Fair point dvdegeorge , That thought also went through my mind a while back. 22 7/8" barrel on a .25-06? But in reality, although ballistics charts will show a small drop in velocity for the shorter barrel, what you loose in muzzle velocity I think you probably gain back in reduced weight overall. Of course if you happen to be fairly static on a huntand taking targets at 300yds as opposed to climbing mountains to get close to the quarrythenthe weightadvantage would certainly be lost.
