Nice choice mate, congrats, i almost bought a T3x ctr in 308 yesterday while spending too much time in my local gun shop, it was just begging me to take it home.
I've got a 270 T3x lite ss and love it, you wont be disappointed Tikka make a great bit of kit.

The boys at the range will love that muzzle brake too :lol: :drinks:

Yep you get to sit up the end of the range with the rest of the special muzzle break shooters with a barrier between you and the normal people.

I have 2 howa's love the rifles
one in 223 one in 308
easy to get parts, mods, ect.

mate has ruger and dont like bolt, just not smooth and occasional jamming. could be one off though others speak highly.

Browning A Bolt may be worth considering.
New MAUSER M18 RIFLE may be worth looking at i know nothing about it but know there about they are like 950

good choice milsey , with the tikka if you ever want to sell it they hold their value so down the track its a more economical option

PPU pretty cheap got them $22 a box couple of times. but get what you pay for, few more $$ and you'll be shooting alot closer groups

Want a decent factory soft point that wont break the bank - the Federal Power Shoks 150 gr (blue box) or the Buffalo River 135 gr HP seem to shoot great in any gun i have tested then in.....

A centrefire lever is definitely on my wish list and from what I have been told and read it’s the guts!
