Does anyone find the Howa a bit on the heavy side or am i just a whimp?
I have a Tikka T3 S/S .270, love it but i always wanted one from day-dot so i'm happy to live with its flaws (Plastic mag, dense recoil pad)
I thought about buying other guns before i got it (Remmington, Howa) but knew that i would always want a T3 so stumped up the extra $ and bought it.
Shoots under and inch with Hornady custom soft points from factory... i was stocked but my shoulder wasn't lol!!!

Anything compared to a T3 weighs a ton. I carried my mates 6.5 Swede T3 while he was carting his first ever deer. Compared to my 75 Finnlight, the T3 was like a toy.
T3s are a bit cheaper than Remmington 700 SPS s/s rifles these days, so you did the right thing and got something far better out of the box.

PS, I've had both a T3 and a Remmie 700.
