Talk me out of going buy a tikka T3 stainless superlight .30-06 and putting the Leupold rifleman I have sitting in the safe on it.

I'm currently hunting with my dad's old remington 7600. It's a hell of a meat gun, and it weighs about 16 pounds. And it isn't mine.

Please and thank you.

I think you have come to the wrong place.
What kind of price you gonna get on it? They had them here for $649 a while back.

I think they're 650 at cabelas.

Right now the best motivation I have to not go buy it is that it's going to be raining and I won't even get to sight it in this weekend probably.

I'll talk you into the tikka. I have a left handed 7mm mag stainless lite. Love the gun. Wish it had a metal mag but the plastic don't bother me much. It's a great gun

You know you want it.
It's just one lil rifle, it won't hurt nothing.

Well it might hurt some deer.

I had your same dilemma. Had a gun to use but it wasn't mine. I needed to own my own deer rifle.

I love my tikka t3 hunter that I got before this season. Vx2 on top makes it a hell of a gun.

Money in the bank until you need something else.

I like Tikka, but is that really going to make you happy?

If it seems like a good idea after hunting season is over, come back and we'll talk about it (I like the Winchester, as well.)

That's really not all that reasonable. After hunting season they are liable to be $700. Save yourself $50 and get it now.

Don't rush into a long term relationship, look around and try other guns before making a commitment. My T/C Encore drives tacks and even with a 24" barrel it is short and manageable in a box stand.
