Yes I do. There nothing but a pest. My daughter nearly hit one the other day with her car about 50 yards from the end of my driveway. I just hate when that happens...:D

Wow! Itblew the skin right off that thing! ;)


Thanks for the input everybody.
On paper, the ballistics look fantastic for competition, and I just wanted to know how it perform on real critters, especially 'varmints' with antlers. :)
I think I got my answer.

My wife is also getting a 260 Rem. but she just doesn’t know about it yet or maybe I should just tip toe it down stairs when I get it, in case she doesn’t like it and I have to keep it...:D After all I do have to keep those pest away. Right Reb...;)

Thanks for the site info trailer,I have been checking the bretta usa site each week now since the middle of last year and all they have had listed is the 223,22/250 and 308.I have one in the 308 and love it,if the 260 is as accurate as the 308 I will be very happy.Will post a pic how well the 308 does in the tikka varmit.
Have a friend that is going to do some calling tomorrow and see if one in the 260 can be found here.If anyone has any helpfull info it will be appreciated,I am wanting one pretty bad.
Thanks again.
This was shot at 300 yds 3-shot group.

mine really was for the misses;)really, she loves too shoot buti think she has hunted 10-11 times with me, its always too cold or rainy or windy, but when its time to fish look out[:-]:D

plus if you buy your wife one you don't want it to sit and dry-rotso put it to good use;););)

The fellow at the gun shop called Beritta today and they don't have anything but the 223,22/250 and 308 in the t-3 varmit here in the us.
Soi won't be getting one anytime soon in the 260,but may have savage to build me one,haven't made up my mind yet.
Thought I would pass the info on incase anyone else was interested.

There was a couple of Tikka 6.5 x 55 varmint rifles up for sale at a gun shop little while ago but they were sold within days. I guess the 6.5 are a hot selling item...
