Lancs Lad Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Anyone currently own one. Im due for delivery on one very shortly, being a left handed freak there wasnt much available that met with my requirements, synthetic, .223, light weight, not stainless, proper left handed stock. So, at the CLA I had a good long hard look and only came across the T3. Going to be sticking a S&B 8x56 on the top, use for foxes and deer up in Scotland. Anyone recomend a good ammo to go with the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I'm a fellow lefty. I had T3 Varmints in .223 and .243. The best results I got with factory ammunition was with Federal 55gr Nosler Ballistic Tip. Homeloads were a considerable improvement. Whilst Federal/Norma/Sako factory rounds are pricey, the brass is of significantly better quality than Remington/Winchester/Privi etc, should you be planning to reload.

GatGun Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I tend to use hornady v max in the 40s. They knock old charlie for 6 and make a satisfying hole. Nice and flat shooting. The tikkas dont seem to be as fussy as some other makes. Thats through the 1 in 12 twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan the gun Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 depending on twist mine is a 1 in 12 and shoots bullet on bullet at 100 yrds with a 40grn hornaday v-max (total flat shooting and verry HARD hitting) also try some fiocchi 50grn v-max slightly cheaper but still accurate. me and gazyapp have had 18 foxes over the last week with them.
