I have a Tikka .300 wsw and have used it for elk and deer hunting. Great gun! You may want to compare ammo costs between the .300 and 7mm and that may help you make a decision. My dad liked my .300 so well he bought a .223 and has knocked down a hog and a red deer with it so far.

it is made by berretta so it is not a bad gun.

Sorta made by Beretta, it's made by Sako a Finland company and always has been. In 2000 they became a part of Beretta Holdings but the factories are still in Finland.

I bought a Tikka T3 Lite 30-06 last year. It's my first rifle so I don't have much to compare to previously however my research said that they are extremely reliable and accurate firearms. I lucked into it as I'm a left handed shot and wanted an inexpensive rifle and found this one used and in my price range. I sighted it in at a range in Rosemount with the help of the gun club out there and even new to shooting I can get a 1 inch grouping at 100 yards once I had it sighted in. The T3 Lite is also a very light gun at least compared to the other in my hunting group. Kicks pretty good but I'm very satisfied with it... now to figure out how to position myself to fire at something in the woods wink

I just got the Tikka T3 Stainless Lite for the girlfriend 25-06 caliber. She loves it and now just looking for a load to get her ready for fall hunting. Love the gun wish clips would be cheaper but for the same price as Ruger's and a lot lighter.

My dad has a Tikka in 300 WSM, i opted for the Sako A7 in 300WSM because the Sako has a bolt release lever that allows you to unlead the gun with the safety in the "on" position. On Tikka's, you have to take the safety off in order to work the bolt. So simply from the safety standpoint, I got the Sako. It wasnt much more money either.

There is another thread on tikkas on the gun fourm.

but what is up with the questions on tikkas lately, it seems like there is a new posting on tikkas once a week.

But I love my tikka, got a 308 in synt. stainless, my brother has one in synt. blue, and a brother in law has one in a wood, blued.

Well I don't know if Tikka kept there price the same and everyone else jumped but it was cheaper for me to buy a Tikka then a Ruger which I didn't think made sense but we are excited.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
