Highly recommended on the OB, I bought a tikka hunter a few weeks ago in 270 wsm.

Finally got to sight it in today and I must say, my lord that Rifle is incredible. The trigger is absolutely flawless. Only took 3 shots to get sighted in, then my brother and I both shot groups just under an inch. And im not a 'great' shooter by any means.

I just needed to give props to my fellow OB brethren.

Also hit the 500 yd dong several times.

Congrats on the great choice in rifles. I'm a big fan of Tikka's more so than any other rifle under $1k

Is this the Team Tikka thread? I've got the T3 in a 7mm-08, so far it's 2 for2.

They are badass, and the Sakos are even sweeter than them.

I shot it up next to my 7400 30-06 (obviously not the same caliber). That really showed me what I had been missing.

I was also pleasantly surprised with the recoil. I might have to get another one in 223 or 22-250 for yotes.

Matching T3 22-250 and 300 WSM.

That 22-250 is my favorite gun I've ever owned.

ST1,
Uh oh……looks like the "OB Tikka lovers" are starting to get out of control! I need one of my friends to buy a Tikka so I can shoot one. Congrats on the new gun.

I've heard nothing but good about these guns and I want one in 300wsm. How is the recoil for such a light gun?

Great if you put the scope on right, but it leaves a mark if you don't!






and bleeds a little.







And gets you made fun of at camp.
