Tikka T3X Lite 30-06

[@zorandjekic7441]

TIKKA is perfect rifle, thank you for existing !

[@shanevonharten3100]

Love your commitment getting out there and freezing so we can watch a video.👍. I have two tikka's, An old m65 in 270 that had to be rebarelled from so many years of service and recently(probably 3yrs) got a t3 super varmint in 300winmag, fitted a Burris Eliminator 3 to it and absolutely love the accuracy. Sub 4" groups at 600yds with remington corelokt 150gr factory ammo. Its ridiculously accurate out of the box, Zero modifications or upgrades. Would definitely recommend tikka to anybody looking for high quality accurate value

[@gunfreak9mm]

That's beautiful weather... Great video, I've been researching the Tikka in '06 of course and going to buy one within a couple weeks.

[@edsmercina7157]

Good shooting I love my tikka 270. It has killed many elk and a few deer

[@Gaumik-c2l]

i just picked up the Tikka T3X Lite in 300 win mag also topped up with a Vortex 3x9x50mm scope and put a Limbsaver recoil pad and paired up with Federal Premium 180gr Nosler Partitions love this gun, had it up to the range a couple of times and shoots awesome!! great video btw

[@MainlandMark]

Sounds like you got yourself a nice setup over there :)

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

Tikkas 3x are relatively inexpensive because of plastic components....plastic stock with no aluminum bed, plastic trigger guard, plastic magazine, plastic bolt release, etc. They originally had aluminum recoil lug and plastic bolt shroud...they are now improved to steel recoil lug and aluminum bolt shroud as well as foam filled stock. I purchased a stainless steel Tika T3x lite in .270 Win and it is shooting subMOA with my handloads....muzzle velocity standard deviation of 4.6 fps shooting 130 gr TTSX and 4350 powder for hunting up here in Alaska. I like it because it is accurate and a lightweight all-weather mountain rifle.

[@whiteyfisk9769]

Youve posted this exact same comment across all kinds of channels...are you a robot?

[@rogersdavis1201]

Thank you very much sir. Great shooting!!. I have the same caliber in a tikka t3 lite (older model ) rifle. I shoot the 150 gr. Winchester deer season xp which produces less than a half inch group at 100 yards. I can cover the holes with a dime. I am going to try some on those 180 gr. Federal that you are using. Have a blessed day

[@cbwelch4]

Love my T3X Superlight in 6.5 CM. Wonderful light gun. Gorgeous Walnut. It lives up to the sub MOA guarantee. Question for you. I am desperately looking for a Valmet M76 firing pin (5.56). Can you find surplus firing pins for Sako military rifles in 5.56? Would you have any idea if there’s a company that fabricated them? I tried Sako’s site but it was not obvious.

[@snookinhardinfl]

I have the same rifle in .308. Topped it off with a Vortex Viper HS LR 4X16 X 50 mounted with a DNZ Game Reaper one piece mount. I was thinking about the Limb Saver for that as well. I might pick up the 30 06 just to have. Lovin my 308.

[@bushmanbob5227]

I just picked up a Tikka T3x Lite chambered in 30-06, exactly like yours. Can you tell me what part number you used for the Limbsaver Pad? I see you have the old style limbsaver, on their site they don't list one by application for the T3x, only the new style limbsaver which im not fond of. Great video! Thanks for putting this out there.

[@MNgunhead]

Nice shooting. I'm on the fence making a decision on what to buy. You have given me another reason to go Tikka. I had a T3 lite stainless years ago in 30-06 that was a tack driver. For whatever reason I sold it. I may have to get another one.

[@DUCEBSTR2]

i need a lefty. going to buy the ctr in 6.5. want a 22-250 lefty t3x

[@toobadsosad83]

That thing is unbelievable. I have one in 308. Haven't fired it yet. Hope mine's as good as yours.

[@MainlandMark]

Congrats on your purchase! I'm sure you're in for a treat :)

[@yurikfarba7169]

Just picked up one with the SS barrel in .308

[@kitbruttig1995]

Very impressive. I wish they chambered it in 280 Rem AI

[@brianlee6849]

Nice rifle. You should restock it in a laminate stock bedded. It would look very nice and it would add a little bit of weight and it will calm the recoil down a little. But still be plenty light to carry. Thanks

[@AndrejSesic1]

Can you please try the precision with Sellier Bellot SPCE 11.7g?

[@vrod1a]

What model Limbsaver recoil did you put on ? Did you have to grind / trim it for a good fit ?

[@danhunt2]

Excellent groups.

[@TheInferno550]

great rifle

[@fieldmarshalbaltimore1329]

I honestly hate mine.. I'm kind of new to sharpshooting. I'm a big dude too, and that recoil is brutal tbh. Thinking about selling. Any recommendations for control/recoil reduction?

[@benburch2683]

Maybe try to sell it and buy a .308

[@whiteyfisk9769]

Yea, i recommend taking some Tryactin pills Try-actin like a man. Its a freaking 3006 dude, its not gonna kill you. Its not a 2 gauge muzzlelaoder shooting 1/4lb of powder. Its a mental thing, youre afraid of the recoil which in turn makes you focus on it and make it worse. You are a coward

[@fieldmarshalbaltimore1329]

@@whiteyfisk9769 oh shut the hell up you troll. You know nothing about me other than the recoil is a bit too much to control.

[@whiteyfisk9769]

@@fieldmarshalbaltimore1329 your wifes boyfriend doesnt have a problem with the recoil

[@tylerlet6537]

thats the same gun am thinking of getting. good video. love your gloves what make are those?

[@MainlandMark]

Tyler let These are great guns, you wouldn't be disappointed. The gloves are Dakota I believe. Thanks for watching.

[@adamelam6385]

A 30-06 in a 6 lbs rifle is probably like a 300 win mag in a 7.5 lbs rifle.

[@peterkrasnoff6728]

I went out to look at a tikka t3x and came home with a browning x bolt the tikka stock felt cheep and the magazine was cheaper

[@tiputipu777]

Mag works great and almost every serious shooter gets an aftermarket stock at some point anyways

[@shanevonharten3100]

Peter Krasnoff. Nothing wrong with a brownig either. Was it the synthetic stock you didn't like, they do come in wood

[@MrJasoncklein]

Not same price point, either though.

[@salninethousand2496]

lol it gets better with heat - I think that last group was a bit whack ;). Fantastic - both Tikka and Sako - those damned Finns! Good on you!

[@Faileduserattempt]

Doesn't it kick like a mule with 30-06? Considering the weight being below 3kg. I'm still waiting for mine, got one with .308 win😊

[@MainlandMark]

Yeah she kicks pretty good, that's why I recommend getting the limb saver.

[@NickFrom1228]

Oh yes they certainly do:-) My boys will attest to that. Nice rifle though.

[@konig2400]

Put 60 rounds through mine in one day. No shoulder pain the next day. Honestly, my dads Rem. 700 in 7mm mag with the walnut stock recoils more. Yes it does recoil, but no where like a mule.

[@skullfalker]

Just bought this rifle, can't wait to shoot it

[@lostboysfishing8906]

What kinda jacket is that lol?

[@esh9x153]

This looks nice, especially for $660. Perkele!

[@ronaldmarshall4054]

I have the tikka t3x lite 300 win mag it was 499.00 at bobbys gun and ammo and I have a 3x9x50 prostaff

[@swedish_steel7861]

how do you like it in 300wm? im thinking of getting one myself once i get my hunting licence

[@ronmarshall6829]

Ronald Marshall I like it I added a muzzle brake it was $179.00 but I enjoy the tikka it has a really smooth bolt and it shoots awesome,

[@myopinionmeansmoretome]

I just brought mine in the same caliber today.

[@dccmadams44]

Are those the rings that came with the rifle? If not, what brand/model are they? Thanks.

[@MainlandMark]

dccmadams44 No the t3x doesn't come with rings. I forget the brand and am on a trip right now but they are one piece rings.

[@usmc7527]

Nice video

[@eskimo1000]

Nice rifle 👍

[@srspower]

If you held the stock with your left hand rather than the forend you would have shot even tighter. They are real tac drivers though, I LOVE mine which is the hunter (walnut stock) in .243 Winchester.

[@MainlandMark]

srspower yes I agree, thanks for the tip and for watching :)

[@shanevonharten3100]

Probably would have shot better if he wasn't shivering in the cold . lol

[@Canada-gs3jc]

I believe Tikka is in fact second to Sako.

[@borkwoof696]

Canada2016 tikka is a brand of sako

[@rogersdavis1201]

What made you pick a. 30-06 over a 7mm mag or a .300 win mag living in Canada?

[@earlmcmanus194]

.30-06 is the most economical choice, aside from it's little brother, .308, and it's plenty powerful.

[@aaronsanchez2849]

In addition to that, supposedly 300 win mag has a painful recoil. Unfortunately I haven't had the privilege of finding out.

What grain bullet were you shooting?

[@MainlandMark]

That was just cheap blue box Federal 180 grain, mine seems to like it.

[@RamSingh-jm1dy]

how can i buy here in India??

[@MainlandMark]

I'm not familiar with your country's firearms laws. Your best bet would be to talk to an importer or local gun store.
