Default RE: New highpowered rifle--lightweight...choices?

ORIGINAL: millagerobert

Have used remingtons, Wins, and Rugers. My 243 is now a Tikka t3 light and I will never go back. Shoots tighter groups than any gun I have ever owned. Silky smooth bolt, crisp adjustable trigger, light weight, balances beautifully, and comes with scope rings. I just sold my 300 win mag model 700 remington so I can replace it with a 300 Tikka T3 light also. The tikka's are made by Sakko and both are owned by Beretta. They cost little more than the others and can be found for comparable prices. If you get one you'll have no regrets, fired over 2000 rounds through mine with zero problems. I use it with 70 grain ballistic tips for varmints, which wrecks ground squirrels, and 90 grain partitions for everything else.
Another vote for a Tikka!!! I picked up one in a .308 last year, and what a shooter!! Love this gun!!!!
