Guest stevo Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 well as per title , after a making the decision to get myself a new fox/stalking rifle i finally decided to go for another .243 , its a more than man enough calibre for all uk deer , and in the past had a lot of success with one , also ......... IMO just about the best fox calibre , everywhere has a good stock of ammo too . so with calibre sorted it was time to pick what rifle , i have been looking at lots over the past few weeks , but always seem to go back to the first one i looked at haha so went back to shop last night to pay money , with luck it should be in over the next couple of weeks .SO what did i go for i hear you say ! TIKKA T3 stainless Burris Four X (30mm) 3-12x56 IR Rifle Scope ASE ultra sound mod I have always had sako/tikka rifles in the past , but not the T3 , have to say I fell for it straight away , and as always the trigger straight out of the box is to die for , roll on the next two weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Good man Stevo. You'll have a lot of fun with that and get the job done. I use a Tikka T3 stainless hunter in .204 ruger. Some folk don't like the plastic mag but they work perfectly.
