Default RE: tikka t3 lite

http://www.tikka.fi You can check out the specs at Tikka's site.

In addition, talk to some people who own and have used. I have a Tikka T3 Hunter (hardwood stock and blued steel) .300 WM, I bought last year and used for Elk hunting last fall. It's a tremendously designed and built weapon. Out of the box, with a good scope, a steady rest, a good person and premium ammo, groups of 3 shots at 100+ yds within 1" are common.

It's the same barrel as the more expensive Sako. The barrel is floating (for better accuracy). A smooth, solid bolt. Free quality rings. A nice palm swell. The weight is slightly lighter than some other rifles in it's class, which on a target range with a box of shells through it you'll feel a little more with magnum calibers. But I wouldn't worry about it in the field.

I like it more than any rifle I've ever owned. I'm thinking down the road of a .270 T3 Hunter for whitetails, too.
