    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    I live in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, IL. About an hour and half from Milwaukee. Will look around for good references. Thanks mate!

    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    By the way can anyone tell me if the Christensen Traverse is based on the Remington 700 action?? Or is it proprietary?

    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    Seems like Apache Machine in NC is a good gunsmith. I need some good recommendations for a gunsmith who can help me build a nice custom rifle. That part you guys have me convinced. On the other hand, looking for an MOA shooting factory rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor for this year’s hunting season...

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

    Yeah you are right, some rifles (or cartridges too maybe) just kick unexpectedly hard. I was surprised too that .270 kicks so hard, that there is almost no difference from a 30-06. Maybe due to the amount of the powder the .270 case can hold, it is a bit deceiving ;). Also, true, the only time...

    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    All good suggestions guys. Although I very much love the idea of building a custom rifle. Unfortunately this year I wouldn’t have time for it. Will definitely get started later this year for the custom one. For the factory ones I will explore some options like std7mag suggested

    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    Want to consider the Christensen Traverse from my shortlist but seem to be reading several posts on various forums as to Christensen being hit or miss and people having issues with the accuracy of the rifles. Their CS also seems to be getting a bad rap. Now, I am hesitant to spend $2k plus on a...

    Tikka T3X Hunter (wood stock) 270 Winchester w/Tally Rings & Mount, Leupold VX3i 3.5-10 40 scope

    Want to sell my Tikka T3x Hunter Wood Stock. Bought it this May. Shot only about max approx. 36-39 rounds to zero the scope. Practically brand new. Has the Leupold VX3i 3.5-10 40 mm scope mounted on Tally rings and mounts. Small quarter cm (centimeter) barely visible scratch on the stock...

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

    Agreed. That is what I was thinking. .270 does have the same/or near equal case capacity of the 30-06 and powder loads are almost the same. To me atleast it does recoil the same or maybe more (I was comparing Remington 150 gr .270 bullets with 180 gr. 30-06 of the same manufacturer). People who...

    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    Thanks mate! +1 to the Christensen. I was at the crossroads with the Fieldcraft as well with it being too light unless hiking up the mountains. Would prefer a heavier, more stable barrel. Plus the CA Traverse seems to be built like a tank.

    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    Traditional weight is fine by me. Don’t mind lugging the extra weight. This would not be my mountain hiking rifle, I will get a separate one for that next year.

    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    I have Tikka T3x Hunter in 270 Win and although I like the gun, would like to upgrade to something nicer. Have narrowed down the caliber to 6.5 Creedmoor . Reason being it is enough for deer hunting and it is also low(er) recoiling than the .270 to enjoy off season for precision target shooting...

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

    Mine is a wood stock T3x with the newer recoil pad but it still kicks like a mule. Not that it bothers me as I am used to 300 WM old guns but seemed like excessive for what it is. Especially when 30-06 guns seemed to kick less than this .270.

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

    Hi Folks! Just wanted to get an insight in these from others who have shot the Tikkas and others side by side. Myself and a friend recently bought a Tikka T3x Hunter in .270 Winchester. Took it out to the range a few times to zero the scopes (mine is a Leupold VX3i 3.5-10 40 and his is Vortex...

    If you had to choose just one caliber???

    How much more powerful is the .300 Winchester Magnum versus the .30-06? Also, is there any recoil difference. I have a .270 wichester and one to have another big game rifle, looking for a cartridge to go with it.

    Hi Pat, Do you have the Leupold vx-3i 3.5-10x40mm. I just got a Tikka T3x Hunter in .270...

    Hi Pat, Do you have the Leupold vx-3i 3.5-10x40mm. I just got a Tikka T3x Hunter in .270 Winchester. Which scope would you recommend? The Leupold vx-3i 3.5-10x40mm or VX-3i 3.5x10x50mm?
