Thread: thoughts on tikka t3 lite

They are fantastic rifles.
The non ability to top load a magazine sounds like something an American would argue, it really does not matter.
Same with complaining about the trigger guard and plastic magazine. It is not flimsy and cheap, it's very good quality strong plastic, and I have no trouble trusting in mine.

The Tikka easily has the nicest action in the price range, I'm definitely not a fan boy or anything, but compared to the Remington or Savage the Tikka is miles ahead.
They have also one of the nicest triggers found in a factory rifle. I've never felt as though the plastic stock was noisy at all, I've never had any trouble with mine.

Americans also like to complain about the lack of after market parts, but that's really a non issue. In general I feel as though nothing on the Tikka needs to be changed, and if you want to you can get stocks, bottom metal and triggers piece of piss.

I own a Tikka lite 223 SS and it's stupidly accurate, shoots under .5 moa with cheap Hornady ammo, and under 1 moa with most other cheap ammo.
Every Remington I've looked at and played with didn't even compare quality wise, and considering Tikka's can now be had for pretty much the same price as a Stainless Rem 700, I see no reason to bother with them. When I buy my next centrefire it will definitely be another Tikka.

You can definitely get better rifles than the Tikka's, but for their price they are pretty bloody good.
