Does anyone have any comments about these rifles? Are they accurate? I am considering a Ruger No.1 or a Tikka in 7mm. Rem. mag. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

I got a LH Tikka in .308 this past fall. At 100 yards it is about 1 inch groups and at 200 yards about 2 1/2 inches with factory remington loads. You will hear a few people complain about the magazines because they are made of plastic, these are the same people who don' t own a Tikka either, I don' t have any complaints about the Tikka whatsoever. I topped it off with a Leupold VX2 3-9x40

Deer Magnet, have you tried any other ammo? I currently have a Ruger that shoots 3/8" groups with Federal Premiums. It does' nt like or shoot Rem. ammo.
Thanks

Deer Magnet, the LH does that mean left handed? I have looked through their website and have not seen anything for lefties.

Turd, I haven' t tried anything else out as of yet, but where I hunt I can' t shoot farther than 60 yards in any direction. But I plan on using others this spring to see how it shoots.

Arbowhntr, they have 13 different calibers to choose from in Left Hand, go to this page http://www.tikka.fi/datatable_us.html

LOL, I looked at the website (prob while you were posting) and saw that they do sell LH models. Geez Im an idiot hehe. Any idea if they are going to make any in the WSM calibers? Thanks

Turd,

I currently have three Tikka' s. A .308, .243, and a .223. All three shoot around 1/2" with handloads at 100 yards.

Diyj, thats what I wanted to hear! Are your rifles wood, synthetic,stainless? Thanks!

The new T-3' s coming out will be available in several of the new short mag calibers.Its also quite a good looking gun.

ARBowHtr, as of last fall Browning/Winchester had no immediate plans to include the WSM offerings for their rifle line in left. I am sure tikka is similar. If they keep on selling hot maybe but the south paw is a limited market, so keep that in mind. Possibly check out a custom rifle.

I haven' t heard anything bad other than fit and finish (which includes the plastics), with Tikka.
