If you lot are not a puss when it comes to recoil its a practiced lightweight burglarize that will most probable shoot real well. The one I had was real accurate with most loads I fed it from 165's to 200's. I personally wouldn't own a rifle with a cage break. Re: Is that Tikka T3 Lite 300win mag too light?

If your looking to plink long range, and so your kind of looking at the wrong rifle. If you want a lightweight hunting rig that is notoriously authentic, comes with an easy to adjust well-baked trigger and i of the smoothest actions from a box store rifle then become the Tikka. It will have no issues with accuracy to 600 yards if yous utilize appropriate BC loads and have eyes able to brand those shots. Re: Is that Tikka T3 Lite 300win mag too light?

I like the light weight hunting rifle for carry around, simply worry near the kicking with 300 win mag. if it is 30-06 that will be fine I call back. But this time I want something little bit more power.so like to become 300 win mag. yes, maybe I need get 1 and try. how hard to find the stock and barrel for the Tikka T3 light if I want get it upgrade later?

I did put a ready fit Limbsaver on my T3 270 that cured my Plavix claret thinner bruising that I got from the manufactory pad, and am able to run 40+ rounds of 270'due south PLUS 2 or 3 other calibers at well-nigh the same number of rounds in a bench session that will include a 30cal Magnum in 165's & 180'due south and a 9.3x62 in 250'south, 270's & 286 gr'ers ... but and then since I am a 68 yr one-time wuss I besides utilise an aboriginal hardened up PAST shoulder strap pad for everything ...except 22rimfires. As JG said long off the bench shot strings volition heat whatever butt upwards eventually and cause them to "walk" aka "spray" usually tight groups. But my T3 6lb 2oz blank nekkid 270 in the same butt contour will requite me ten-12 rounds in nether v minutes before I even begin to suspect that the barrel is walking on me...and I've never needed 10-12 rounds to impale anything in a that big a hurry ... and this is non a FireFight shooter as the critters I hunt are all unarmed at past tooth and hook range. OBTW If you'll larn to shoot standing off some skillful Shooting Sticks y'all will be pleasantly surprised at how little you lot feel the recoil with proper technique, and the long range accuracy possible.

Definitely not a range rifle, but you will not detect a better hunting rifle for the price. Carrying up and down the mountains for a week, I'll take the extra kicking for what I save in weight.

How about the upgrade part for Tikka T3 Lite. such as Butt and stock. I remember after you lot shoot it yous will be trying to remember what you wanted to upgrade. Purchase a limbsaver pad before you ever shoot it. They work as advertised. My wife went from shooting 7-8 rounds and quitting to shooting unlimited rounds (50 last outing) in her T3 lite 7-08. But from the pad change. $thirty-twoscore well spent. Re: Is that Tikka T3 Light 300win mag besides light?

Depending on the quality of the butt and the quality of the loads. When searching for the accuracy node 1 is, keeping all other factors in command form of the experiment, search for the correct powder accuse. One is looking for a bullet to exit the barrel in the part of the sine moving ridge when the barrel has flexed upward, paused, bullet exits, barrel rebounds downward. That is the accuracy node. You may accept a pulverization charge spread, especially in a long magnum, 1.0 gr below to 1.0 gr above the "sweetness spot" and the burglarize however shoots well. Heavy barrels allow longer shot strings before the barrel heats upwardly and harmonics alter. Just even the thinnest contour tin still shoot sub MOA if the barrel is allowed to cool. Obviously ambient air temperature is a gene. 800 Yard Steel Range Precision Rifle Instruction Memberships and Classes Available Re: Is that Tikka T3 Calorie-free 300win magazine also light?
