bigger is better

I don't own any T3 tikkas yet but I do own a 25/06 whitetail ss hunter; which is a older model Tikka,and I agree with skeeter. the 25/06 is better crossover gun then the 243 and with the 75 gr Vmax it is a good pill for dogs (yotes) as long as you don't catch bone...Whatever way you go you will not regret buying a tikka....
