oowee Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Looking to get a .243 for Roe and fox. Fancy something a bit special so looking at Mauser M12 Max. With an atec cmm4 mod and MEOPTA MEOSTAR R1 3-12X56 RD with a 4C scope. Any views on this kit? Anyone used it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 You won't go wrong with a Tikka T3. I have the Lite model in .243 and it's served me well in all of the seven years I've used it. It all depends on how much you want to spend.

LeadWasp Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 The Meostar won't disappoint you - I have one with a 4K and think very highly of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammo Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) Looking to get a .243 for Roe and fox. Fancy something a bit special so looking at Mauser M12 Max. With an atec cmm4 mod and MEOPTA MEOSTAR R1 3-12X56 RD with a 4C scope. Any views on this kit? Anyone used it? I went for a Mauser M12 Extreme, got a Meostar R1 4B ret. Its also in .243. I have put about 80 rounds through it since start of the year, practice on paper, and a couple of deer. I love it. Couldn't be happier with both the Rifle and Scope. The 4B ret is a very useful range finding tool, simple and instant gauge of range. So impressed with the optics, I bought a Meopro 4-12 x 50 for my Browning T bolt .22lr. Looks like I am very near you, you are absolutely welcome to come over for a look; although the M12 Max is of course a different model to my Extreme.

welshwarrior Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 He said "something a bit special" how are people mentioning Tikka T3s there nothing special just an entry level rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Everyone has their own opinion. That's not a setup I would consider but if that's what you want that's all that matters. My Tikkas and Remington do everything I want in the field and nearly everything I want at Bisley as well! ATB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree just packing last night for a 3 day trip stalking of all the rifles I own I'm taking a Remington action 308 as it does what I want but it's not something special.

srspower Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 If you want something special get a Blaser R8 with a carbon fibre and leather stock! But I have to say I am very pleased with my Tikka T3x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpy22 Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 the op did well last night shooting foxes with my old t3. but he has his heart set on one of these so he should go with that. looks a cracking rifle from what i have seen. i dont think i would be happy if it had the battle scars my tikka has on it though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
