RE: Tikka t-3 owners speakup
Hey everyone,
I guess this thread is a strong testament to the T3. I just purchased a 7mm Rem Mag this fall with the intentions of Elk Hunting next fall in CO and love it. I did a lot of research on the different brands and ultimately decided on the value for the money that Tikka is known for. My Dad owns a Ruger 270 and is happy with it but cant keep his eyes off the A-Bolts and still cant make up his mind on the "perfect caliber" if there ever was such a thing. I even threw my T3 sticker on his Gun Cabinet to help sway him. It hasn't worked yet but I will keep working on him.
Happy Offseason,
CJSDuck

I have a T-3 in 25-06. No complaints so far. Very accurate, excellent trigger, smooth action, and despite how much someskeptics seem to worry about it, the polymer detachable clip hasn't imploded or shown any sign of wearing out after two seasons.

Hey again,
I am proud to announce my father has finally broken down today and traded his Ruger 270 for a T3 7mm Rem Mag. I guess the sticker on his gun cabinet got to him! Maybe he will get on here let us all know how it shoots

I've got an Ithaca LSA 65 I bought in the early 70s, I've allways assumed it was built by Tikka as thats the name on the scope rings and they came with the rifle. They are made to fit this gun without bases. This rifle is ballanced perfectly and a joy to shoot ,great trigger and very accurate.

See if you find a model Tikka makes by that name. I haven't heard of it. I suspect it is actually made by Ithaca Arms made in NY.

Manufacturer of Tikka arms and I think most other manufacturers would be found on the receiver or left side of the barrel near the caliber/guage.
