V8 90 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I have a T3 Varmint .223 & it's awesome I have a DM80 Mod on it which I can also highly recommend Does what it says on the tin I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 if the little used sako 85 in the sale section is still there at £750 buy that, much nicer gun than the T3 all the plastic bits are metal and the stock doesn't feel like ABS plastic. An absolute bargain for someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tikka.223 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I have a T3 Varmint .223 and cant fault it at all,dont think you'll go far wrong with a Tikka.I have an Ase Utra Jet-Z mod on mine and it works very well. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 If you ever have any intention of putting a mod on it then get the HUNTER. I have the T3 Lite and it is **** balance with a mod until you put 6oz (150g) of lead in the rear stock, like I did! My barrel is around 19.5 inches. The Varmint is FAR too heavy for me, my .223 T3 Lite Stainless will V Bull at 600 yards so I have no need for a varmint barrel for field work. My T3 Hunter in .243 (factory threaded) has good balance, even with a mod, straight out of the box! ATB! PS.... they all shoot well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_in_the_midlands Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Only had T3 Hunter 223 for a couple of weeks, but so far I am pleased with it. Fitted A-TEC mod which is very light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
