Tikka T3X lite

[Huntsman27]

I totally understand where your coming from. I seem to like to make things difficult sometimes for myself. lol. It will probably be a few months before I pull the trigger on the rifle, so I may just start stocking up on ammo now when i find it.

This is a good idea if you are committed to a caliber, I bought the ammo for the rifle before I bought the rifle. Some places online were selling 6.5 PRC for $7.00/round. I kept looking and eventually found it for much less and had 10 boxes by the time I bought the rifle. Fortunately, the gun shoots it well.

heard of gun broker and also have looked at it online, but never used it. is it pretty simple and safe to purchase and use? There are a handful of FFL dealers around me that I can sent it to. you know the internet these days.......just always have to make sure.

Very simple. I used them once and it all went off without a hitch.

I have mostly Tikkas including one in 7mm-08. Unlike the other poster I prefer the T3x stock over the Bell and Carlson stock. I have upgraded one rifle to a KRG Bravo stock and really like it. I have tried sportsmatch, Warne, and Talley rings on the metric rail. None of the rings failed but the Sportsmatch seem to be the best.

I love Tikka rifles and love the 7-08 cartridge. I have not had any trouble finding ammo.

I went on the search for one this past winter and had a hard time finding one in 7mm-08 but eventually did. I was on the “notify me” list for several online retailers and ironically just received notification that midway USA has them in stock as of today. I could find them everywhere in 308 and 6.5 creedmore but that caliber was hard to find!
