dunganick Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 looks like an old tikka? 243 is a great allround round, wont go far wrong nice looking piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verminator Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Your right, its pre T3, but i bought it new. I found a lot of T3`s second hand, even though they are quite recent. so i decoded not to get one, but the older version as i havent seen any of those second hand. Is there something wrong with the T3? Anyway, delux with mounts for £675. I was wondering if anyone had used a 595 and what result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 in my opinion the t3 has too much plastic on it, but this wont stop its fautless functioning, all tikka's are great rifles, they are made in the same factory as sako's using one of their old actions, so they are great solid built rifles will give you many happy years of use im sure enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirky Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Thats the exact same rifle that i have, i bought mine in 1997, so that puts it at 8 years old, it still shoots superb groups with factory federal 100 gr, i found my rifle prefered these, so to answer your question yep they are superb.

verminator Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 (edited) Im using remington core lokt 100gr, tis a bit of a beast. i took it to the range on sunday and shot it against my .270, didnt really notice any difference in recoil between the two, just .270 has a bigger bang.

henry d Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 I have a Tikka 595 just 5yr old and it doesn`t have the cheek piece or the black end at the front of the stock,do you know how old it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verminator Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Im not sure, as i have only just bought mine. It is sometimes refered to as the Tikka master range. i have the 595 delux. You may have the continental version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 ah!De-lux eh! Plenty of spare dosh........can`t fault the rifle tho,except for it was a bit ammo fussy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verminator Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 I wouldnt go that far, just save for something i want. if i had plenty of cash i would have a sauer take down avantgarde or baser R93 attachet...there gorgeous. this one i can admire when im in the high seat, and nat be too fussed if i prang it. whilst out trying to ruin Bambies day.

hill billy Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) What do you lot think about federal ammo, i must admit when i was looking for a 22-250 i looked at a tikka t3 but i didn't like them i mean thats my opinion im sure a few will say diffrent i felt that the magazine felt a bit flimsy and the action felt very loose.

verminator Posted June 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 federal is good, very good. But i went for the remington stuff as it was cheaper, by about £5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
