AdamW Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Right guys n Gals, In the next couple of weeks I going to be in the market for a new .223 to replace the Howa 1500 synthetic that I currently own, the Howa for me is just too heavy to walk the fields with... and so will be up for sale..... or pxed So, for something lighter... Tikka T3 lite seems the best so far, any others I should consider...? Help.. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I fancied something that didn't have a T3 badge on it.. Don't get me wrong their fantastic rifles, but every tom **** n harry has one (probably for good reason mind) Ended up going for an RWS <Titan> 3 and after some inital trouble (proven to be mod + ammo issue - http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...;hl=T8+trouble) I'm in love with it Their distributed by RUAG - more info at http://www.jagd-shop.at/english/produkte.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Oh not sure tweedle mate.. The barrel is stamped as RWS, but I guess it could be Rössler Waffen Austria if what your saying is true :blink: There's a review on them here - http://www.ruag.co.uk/resources/files/Titan07%20(3).pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamW Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Guys, Thanks for the replies, I have had a search on the net at both the RWS and the Mannlicher, both look good, But I think I have set my sights on the T3, I just have to wait for the cert to come back now.... Also, as a side... is it worth me selling my howa with mod, or keep the mod ready for the T3 or sell both and buy both? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
