Decided to try a Tikka after hearing all the good comments about them.
Went to range today and my first hand load averaged just under 3/4" for 5 shots on five different groups.
A couple groups were one hole until I blew it or got excited and did not let the barrel cool long enough between shots.
Outstanding rifle in my opinion and I have not even tried another load yet.
The only negative things I have to say about the rifle is you have to reload to OAL of the magazine which is shorter than most.
Even with the free bore this thing is accurate.
The other is this rifle is light and kicks like a mule compared to the Remingtons I have...I see a limbsaver in my future on this rifle.
Note-I bedded the action before I took it out like I do all my rifles after figuring out how to do it with the crzy different recoil lug..
Tikka T3 Hunter is a thumbs up
