Thread: Tikka T3 to Begara B14 Extreme Hunter

I have both. T3x lighter, slicker bolt and a bit narrower in forend. I've found my Tikkas less fussy on the types of ammo
in general. For me my Begara 14 ext hunter points we'll, 18inch is handy, bit heavier but accurate with ammo it likes. I have a feeling the 1-10 twist might be better with 160 + grain weight but it shot good old rem cor lok 150 into an inch and below and some other ammo well too. Will try heavier bullets next
Def like bergara, triggers are crisp and if you want to load the high bc heavies, the floor plate is the go, especially if you're thinking to load high bc projectiles.
Mine has the drop down floor plate ( after market add ) which ups the round count to 5.
The weather proof coating is stainless with ceracote from memory. Comes threaded 14 x 1. There's alot good about it.
The bergara b14 xt hunter feels alot like a winchester m70 which works for me. If your tikka shoots, chop the barrel and ceracote it, or splash out and buy a berg.
