kier Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Had my 5 year visit today from the firearms officer, and we were discussing deer control here (my 34 acre xmas tree farm) when I receive my FAC renewal ( 2 / 3 weeks) I will be able to get a 243 plus mod/scope , he was quite happy to grant it , Ive had some experience of using a tikka 243 and got on very well with it Just wondered if any one has a tikka 243 synthetic available in a few weeks time , im in Kent he was saying boar have been shot 5 miles away, so might have to up grade if they arrive here Edited April 9, 2019 by kier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 57 minutes ago, kier said: he was saying boar have been shot 5 miles away, so might have to up grade if they arrive here I have boar just 2 miles from my perms and no sign of moving in (at least that I have seen). I won't be upgrading my .243. Your right going for a Tikka they are just so good out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kier Posted April 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 I am still doing research of tikka 243 SH prices cant afford new , didn't realise they were so pricey but still looking hard is there much difference between T3x light and a T3 light 243 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kier Posted April 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 it was mostly because the only 243 ive used is a tikka synthetic and got on very well , good grouping , but also I don't want something worn out so history and age is also important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyboy1950 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 One of the rifles I use is a CZ550 in 243. Super bit of kit. Well worth a look, I love the set triggers which come on the CZ range, not to every ones taste I know, but you can use the trigger in its normal mode.
