I am entertaining the thought of purchasing a Tikka T3. I must be getting soft[&:]

They just seem like a great "throw in the truck" type of rifle.

I think I might buy one too, after my .243 AI get finished. They just seem like a great "throw in the truck" type of rifle.

Bingo...I'm buying it because I don't have to play with it , just mount a scope and go whitetail hunting. The trigger,lugs lapped,action bedded, redone crown etc etc etc gets old after awhile with the other brands. I am thrilled as can be with my Sakos and this is an accurate trouble free rifle as well.

I know, I won't buy one. As you said when they came out, they feel cheap. I got lots of rifles so its not like I have to go buy one or I won't be able to hunt.Little over adozen maybe right now, and I love takin all of them out and admiring them. I wouldn't with a tikka.

You want what you want. Who's to blame you? Besides, if your T3 shoots like those we hear about 'round these parts, you'll be tickled with it!
As for me, I've just contacted Savage about sending them back the 11F I bought this past Summer. It won't do any better than 2½" groups, with many well over 4". I bought that rifle for the promise of having a knock-about truck rifle, that would shoot far better than it's price would suggest. I knew it didn't feel very natural in my hands, but I rationalized that I'd find a better-feeling stock for it if it proved to be an outstanding shooter. Such as it is, it'll likely go down the road to a new owner. And I've gained a newfound appreciation for my go-to gun.
It feels right, it shoots wonderfully, and it gives me confidence every time I shoulder it. Ididn't intentionally set outto be a 1-gun hunter, but it looks like I might end up that way.
Good luck with your T3. We'll expect regular range reports!

RE: End times are coming folks
It’s ok OEH , we won’t laugh... I just received my Tikka a couple week ago and I like it. Just couldn’t pass up the deal. Haven’t shot it yet. It’s the varmint model and I was glad to find a company that has custom stocks for this model. It won’t look the same once I’m finished with it if it goes my way...[8D]
