Tikka T3 CTR Compact Tactical Rifle

[zook60]

Acording to the tikka website they are available in 7mm08 so hopefully they will bring them over

I think you may be mistaken mate.
I shouldered one today in 308. They are going to be a very good culling/hunting rifle.

So how did it feel and sholder?? I know were all diffrent but was it a nice rifle How was the weight

This thing is going to sell like hot cakes. its perfectly balencet due to the medium profile 20" barrel. Its a kind of do it all rifle good for long range or good for short range scrub work. The Beretta Au rep said they are pushing tikka to release one in 223 that will take AR mags.
Its priced right too $1400ish. Also its 10 round mag doesn't stick down too far so you can use it as something to hold on too with your from hand when firing.

260 rem and 308 are the only calls so far

[Fozzy]

Yeah you guys are right.. I think I read one to many PDF's on nightshifts.

I apologise!

They get confusing if you have too many open at once hey.

I'd say so.

Just look at the Ruger scout, all the Ruger boys went insane for them.

Similar getup here, except this will shoot like a Tikka

I see the TIKKA T3 CTR COMPACT TACTICAL RIFLE
is due for release at the end of july here in oz now do I want a 6.5\260 or a 308???? From all I've read they sure look like a nice bit of kit and a metal 10 shot mag makes it more appealing for the $$ and a little less than it's rival the Sako,anyone else interested in this rifle

Yep buying one. Checked it out at the shot show here in Sydney

What cal?

[Atter]

C'mooon .260!

[zook60]

C'mooon .260!

Geez your going to have a few 6.5s I have a 308 coming.

[Pom]

If I didn't already have the Gunsite I would certainly consider this. Tikka makes a solid rifle.

Ruger were definitely first out of the gate with the Scout rifle, must have made them a bucket load.

[Westy]

Well after 6months I finally got to shoot one of these lovely ladies in 260 and I must say it was worth the wait!!!!! Everything seems to work and that 10 shot magazine well, it's bloody awesome!!! Super nice to shoot and super accurate in the 260??? might be on the shopping list for next year???

[wayward]

The .308 seems to be the choice for these kinds of rifles.

I wonder what inspired them to go with the .260 Rem.

[Sender]

It does come in .308 as well.

Maybe offering a lower recoil option?

[Chronos]

260 rem and 308 are the only calls so far

Here's hoping they make it available in a few other cartridges for which the 20" barrel is suitable. Maybe 7-08, .338 federal.

A .223 would sell but I can't see the advantage. It's not like you need a 10 round mag for foxes

UMMHHHH because it shoots a whole lot better than the 308. I'm wondering why everything has to be in 308 being it's such a antiquated calibre

[squirrelhunter]

A .233 would sell but I can't see the advantage. It's not like you need a 10 round mag for foxes

Don't forget Ruger have recently announced their Scout in .223.

If Ruger can't sell a Scout rifle, no one can. See how their one goes and you'll know.

I'm not saying it's the only option. Just saying it's the popular one for all the usual 'get a .308 because....' reasons.

QMRA arte talking about letting you use this little beauty in their military comps this year??? Is they do I'm getting 1 A.S.A.P

Yep, that'll be the one to watch to see if the idea takes off.

[lole]

I gotta say I reckon the Ruger Scout in a .223 isn't working for me.

Needlessly heavy rifle for a .223 IMO.

As a do it all, just carrying around bulk for no reason there I think.

[Westy]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Again will let them use it in military comps ,sure as s**t beats using something from before Grandad was born??? ( 1904)

[Gregg]

Hmm, depends on what you want.

The oldies are fun in their own way.
