Too bad you guys came to the Tikka table late. I have a Whitetail hunter from Tikka and it is just awesome. Probably between a T3 and a Sako in most aspects. Still, the T3's are the best rifle out there right now for the money in my opinion. I'd definitely consider them first and formost when looking for a new rifle. Truth be told I might save my pennies and hold out for a Sako for my next rifle, maybe one of those nice light ones.





Here's some of my better targets with my Tikka and handloads.









Here's some of the game my Tikka has brought home for me, including a 120yd running shot (2nd shot nailed her) on a coyote while Elk hunting in '05.
