    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    Been thinking of that exactly. To get one of the proof research barrelled ones. They seem to have a good reputation in the precision shooting community.

    Hunting Gear and Boots Recommendations for North Carolina Hunting

    Hi Folks, Need some recommendations on some good gear for hunting in North Carolina. Will be going there end of October. My first time there and hunting a gap of a decade. Will be hunting deer. Mostly tree stands but never know if I have to tread. Options are open. Need recommendations for...

    Finally received the rifle that I had on layaway for 3 months in the caliber that I have wanted to try for 8-10 years last Friday.

    Enjoy your rifle sir. Your hard work and perseverant search paid off very well. You will enjoy the rifle for times to come.

    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    Agreed to this one too. Its better to take sometime and research, get the one I want, and set it up. Not much time left to do all that in the short span that I have. Not saying that it cannot be done but will be a stretch for sure.

    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    Hunting rifle. Not specific precision rifle. BUT, having said that, I just want the rifle to be enjoyable to shoot at outdoor open ranges for target shooting fun during the off-season (non-hunting). The 6.5 CM with its light recoil is a very good round to be used even in non-hunting target...

    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    Its the 6.5 CM that is the upgrade. I feel like 6.5 Creedmoor is plenty enough for my hunting purpose (mostly deer) and will also be much more enjoyable for off season precision/target shooting fun. I am considering the Tikka in 6.5 CM as it has the accuracy I need in pinch for the budget...

    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    Anyways....decided that will go with something factory made and ready and since my hunt is end of October and I have no time to mess around with starting a custom build and get it delivered within time. From the ones that could be relatively had sooner, I have the below options: - Proof...

    Looking for new gun

    Moose can easily be taken with a .270win to the vitals as it has much higher velocities (better over 400 yards) and a flatter trajectory. Think of it as a long(ish) range .308 replacement. But for raw dangerous game stopping power (talk Grizzlies) as the poster above said, although the .308 and...

    Sling Keeperer - love the idea but skeptical...

    Agreed, cross-body carry is not viable with a backpack on your back.

    Sling Keeperer - love the idea but skeptical...

    Nice invention, but looks foolish for the purpose. As one of the posters above said, if the rifle is heavy, it will move the backpack shoulder strap out of alignment causing an even more weird and unweildy position. Just wear it cross-bodied if you want your rifle to stay put and not slip or...

    Looking for new gun

    How big do you want to go? If you are brown bear hunting or dangerous game or something like that, consider the 375 H&H :alien:

    Tikka Hunter T3x in .270 recoils more than others comprable rifles??

    Agreed, the sharper kicks take you back a bit. The hard thuds like the Shotguns (Remington 870) are somehow ok. But anyways I too got used to it after about 3 shots and was enjoying the Tikka T3x. Getting tight groups makes you happy.

    new rifle. rem vs weatherby vs ???

    Tikkas have been super accurate for me without much effort as I have been able to get 1/2 MOA groups with them. The recoil though is a different story. I felt that the recoil of my wood stock T3X Hunter in .270 was a bit excessive for what it was. They seem to kick as much or worse than the...

    Thanks Brian. Good to know. Planning to order a Tikka T3x in 6.5 CM

    new rifle. rem vs weatherby vs ???

    Heard this from a few others. Why do think the Tikka T3x stock is no good ? Any particular reason(s). I have a Tikka T3X Hunter 270 in wood stock and although the action is super smooth and I achieve 1/2inch groups accuracy , I think the recoil is excessive and a bit harsh.

    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    The .270 is definitely a shooter but since I plan to get a 6.5CM anyways for some off season range/precision target shooting (dual purpose rifle), don't want keep the money blocked in the T3x Hunter Walnut model that I have in .270. The 270 is a bit more recoil for extended shooting sessions at...
