OK maybe I should have been a bit more specific in my question. What I use for coyote now is a converted Saiga in.223 with a 16 inch barrel. Yes Ive been told its a crappy hunting rifle but the secret is.no one has told the coyotes and bobcats that!!! Anime Final Approach Sub Indo Mp4 Converter more. Im not looking to spend huge amounts of money on killing desert dogs. Truth be told, another Saiga would be just fine but I really want to try bolt action 22-250 and this gives me an excuse to buy a new rifle. Plus I dont want to buy a duplicate of a gun I already own. So, my question is, is the Tikka T3 really what all the online reviews say it is?
Factory New & unfired TIKKA T3 SUPER VARMINT bolt-action rifle in.22-250 Remington cal. Super modern & innovative rifle. Tough sy for sale by S Harris on GunsAmerica. Tikka m595 production date. Question on production dates been helped. These are excellent rifles with fine. Pinpoint the date of manufacture because.
Im a firm believer in magazine bias, meaning, the more money a manufacture contributes, the better reviews they get. A good buddy FFL I know says he can score me the walnut/blued T3 for around $500 OTD. Thats more my price. If I am going to spend $1000 on another rifle itll be an SVT-40.
The Tikka rifles are made by Sako and are phenomenal shooters. Most will shoot 3/4 MOA out of the box depending on ammo and they're just tack drivers. I don't know of any brownings that will do that out of the box and guarantee it. The Tikka.223 lines love FGMM ammo and have seen factory loads shoot factory rifles near half MOA so take that for what it is. I'll knock the browning because although prettier, I wouldn't say they are as good a shooter from the experience I've had. I honestly haven't gotten to personally shoot too many browning rifles and they were.30-06, and larger bore guns so kind of an apples to oranges as far as ammo goes but they weren't that spectacular as far as putting it down on paper. Yessir.270 might be a bit much haha.
My current coyote caliber is.223 but Im feelin like steppin it up to 22-250. I had a tikka t3 varminter in.22-250.
Had to sell it to afford some classes:(. I would not hesitate to buy it again and even in that calibur. I had my best grouping i've ever shot with that rifle, sub half MOA 3 round group @ 100 yards. When I get my taxes back in a few months I'm going to buy another one and actually put a real scope on top of it. I have owned three of them.
A tactical model in.308.a.243 stainless Lite model and a stainless Lite model in.223. I currently only own the.223.
ALL of them will shoot sup 1/2' five shot groups at 100 yards all day long. For the money they are very hard to beat. Unlike some ('professional' coyote hunter).I have had the luxury of owning a wide variety of different brands and models of rifles.
So my opinion is based on HANDS ON knowledge. The Tikka rifles all use the same hammer forged barrels that the Sako rifles use.that is why you will not see brand name on the barrels themselves. The barrels are hand fitted to the action and barrel is hand finished.
Vs being all done by a machine such as Remington rifles,BROWNING,etc. This along with the enclosed top receiver.a design borrowed from bench rest actions. Install Microsoft Office 2013 On Linux Mint here. yields a very robust and rigid barreled action. Which leads to very good accuracy. For a hunting rifle they have some other nice features that make them a real winner. The removable magazine. This allows for safe, fast and easy unloading/loading of the rifle.
The light weight is another big plus. I would recommend buying one for her.
I believe she/you will be very happy with it. Take care,Stan So are my opinions. Mine actually get used in the field not on some bench. I had a tikka t3 varminter in.22-250. Had to sell it to afford some classes:(. I would not hesitate to buy it again and even in that calibur.

I have 2 Tikkas, one is exactly as pictured. 22-250 and 30-06 SS. Both are perfect shooters, neither will leave the factory if could not make sub-moa. Triggers are adjustable, crisp; bolt is smooth; ergonomic; does not cost a lot. If i sell 22-250 it just because i need space in my safe and have less calibers variety(but only if 20' AR-15 can match it at the range):). Ive made my decision, well I kinda already had but Calguns just made it final.
Ordering a Tikka T3 Hunter in 22-250. I got a price of $600 OTD from my friend so that seems reasonable. I guess the wife wants it to be my Christmas gift so a range report will be a while off.
Thanks to all who commented in both directions. Lol and how the hardest part of this project what glass to put on top of it. If on a budget I would suggest: http://swfa.com/Leupold-3-9x40-Rifleman-Riflescope-P1997.aspx.
