All I payed for mine.....its all a non finlight is worth imo, sold my 85 for very similar money.

For the record, An 85 is a improvement on a 75....dont idolise a 75 and 85 is better.

T3 on the other hand,good rifle for the money.,not my cup of tea and not the value they used to be.
As for the dreamers on trade me....its the boyracer generation, they assume they can buy a nice tidy cefero for 3 grand,turbo it,illegally lower it,mercilicly rape the drivetrain and dent every panel on it showing off their drift prowess and sell it for 13grand......and dumb fucks buy em.

dont be a dumb fuck and buy a thrashed t3 for more than retail of a new one.

I wonder myself where all those tikkas are going? We still get 3 to 4 tikkas out of 7 rifles to work on, and half of them are new!
It looks like eventually every hunter in NZ is going to own a tikka t3 at some stage !
As said above, you can sometime get a magnum one that kicks a bit for a bit cheaper price.
And I would still pick an old style sako over a modern tikka any day, even if I had to replace the barrel.

Ahhh....fucken boohoo I brought a Rem 700 or Ruger Mk 149 or some piece of shit........don't be haters bitchs............Tikka's are boring...............accuracy ain't ..................suck it.

a 2nd hand t3 light with standard alloy rings and standard plastic stock is worth about $800 in very good nick 2nd hand
the ones you see for 14 or 1500 are normally suppressed for a start normally come with a decent optic
possibly restocked or fluted etcetc

but certainly not standard

my tikka is far from standard probably owes me 3k all up but I bult this rifle for me and wont be selling it so what its worth doesn't matter in a way
the org rifle was brought maybe 8-10 years ago from reloaders for $1000 2nd hand in 308
on its 3rd barrel now went from 308 to 6mmrem then to 260

Lol who cares what the fine print says, tikka t3s shoot hand loads 1/2" or better I've owned a truck load of them and they all do the same.

I bought 3 Savages, 1 with accustock and 2 without. All shoot the same as your T3's.

this isnt about what shoots better or worse than X. Its purely about T3's shooting amazingly well consistently.

Well 3 out of 3 isn't too bad for consistency. If I take into account a few mates with them 6 out of 6 that will match. Mind you I have seen a few Savages that fall into the category of this thread on TM lately too.

I suppose the other thing to consider is the difference between what people list for & what things will actually sell for. Not necessarily the same thing. Although in saying that, I pocketed $1400 for my near new Savage 16 .270 recently. But that was for the whole caboodle- suppressed, good quality optics, several boxes of ammo, bipod, case, sling, cleaning kit etc. Second hand rifle with basic optics wouldn't be worth a grand.

Shot well, & alongside a T3 I do rate the Savage 16s. Bought mine brand new & it shot sub MOA first time out of the box with both SSTs & PPU. Mine was accustocked. Basically same price as a T3 new. I do like the floorplate mag rather than a detachable box too. Pretty hardy too- mine survived a fall that left me with 2 fractured vertebrae & all it sustained was a tiny scratch a couple of mills long.

So you're saying its a big deal that most Tikkas shoot well, but if most rifles from another brand shoot just as well thats not relevant?

"most"
