Tikka T3 Hunter
 

Is it as good as they say? I'd like one in 270 Winchester. How does this rifle compare with the Remington, Winchester, and Browning Bolt guns? What would be a good price for a new one?

I just got one about 10 days ago for little biscuit in 308 Winchester. Best production trigger I have ever had. Crisp 3 lbs plus or so. Fired up a little under 1" @ 100 yards with federal ammo, 165 grain (or was it 168?) sierra gameking bullets. Groups stayed damn even as the barrel heated. 7# rifle with scope. A little too light for me, but it will be a Missouri deer hunter. Things I don't like about it...modernish looking, synthetic trigger guard; tail end on the bolt, I think, is synthetic material. I don't like detachable clips in hunting rifles ($55 for a spare!) but many people do, and they sell. Don't know what to tell you about competitive prices. I would recommend it for the money.

My exact sentiments and the multiple piece bolt looks unusal..looked at one yesterday in 270 . I may buy over the 1A ruger I was looking at . You hear very few complaints about Tikka's that is for sure. It was 445 dollars with scope rings. I will really get sick if I have to pay 55 bucks for the magazine on it though. I can get a Stainless Steel "METAL" detachable magazine for my Sako 75 for about the same price. For 95% of the hunting I do it will be plenty of rifle.
