they are for sale to anyone - held one today and could have taken it home for $895. bought a sig p239 instead.:)

NMGlock, From the original poster. This is where we start. "That statement just shows your ignorance and bias." IMHO means In My Honest Opinion - Ignorant? Nah. Biased? Yes! It's my opinion. Very observant, although I'm thinking it may be you that is ignorant. Again, you took...

NMGlocker, As to the decocker - function over form. Not talking about looks, but to me, the decocker on the P229 is much more functional (especially one handed) and ergonomic. I think it looks fine, even great, you say busy; oh well. The key is performance. This includes the mag release...

Of the two, I chose the P229 over the Walther bc of reputation for quality and reputation for accuracy- very happy w/ my choice. Some things not yet mentioned, but were important to me: 1. the mag release button is more ergonomic, to me, on the P229; 2. the decocker is well thought out on...

Another vote for the T3 - AND, I think it looks great for the price.:D The only other rifle I would consider is its big brother , the sako.

Good to know it's in the 1000's. Bought the 300wsm and thought I might have an obsolete weapon in a few years - glad to know that is not the case. Thanks for the replies and will keep this in mind when selecting my next rifle.:)

HAve the Tikka T3 - I love the weapon and am considering another one...or two very soon.

Was told that a barrell has a life of 300-600 rounds, depending on manufacturer...could this be true?:(

Just received my new Zeiss Conquest. When mounting it to the rifle, my mounts do not "screw down" all the way - I guessing they are not supposed to. Anyway, I have three quetsion/issues: 1. With the scope rings, are they supposed to screw down flush? Do I need bigger rings? 2. My...

I love mine.:D I somewhat knew of Sako's reputation, but knew nothing re Tikka - took a chance without doing any heavy duty research - and man, am I grateful. Since having bought in October, I have heard ONLY good things and do not regret the purchase at all; even thinking about another one...

Sunray, Wow. The "elitist" position is a bit old. Came on here for info, but the lecture on semantics was constructive. And over the word tactical no less. :rolleyes: Anyway, I think I'll learn as I go and hope for less critical replies in the future. Thanks for contributing.:scrutiny:

I failed to mention that I do have a Browning 22 mag semi. that was given to me as a boy. That gun IS alot of fun. Looking in the .243 range and thought about a semi, but I have really liked the Tikka and may consider another bolt-action.

Thanks for the primer...very thorough and exactly what I was looking for. As for the rifles looks - more traditional/conventional. Spent eight years in the Corps (had enough of the tactical style) and am just beginning to try to build a little collection (bought the Benelli SBE wood and a...

What are some alternatives to the Browning BAR? Why are bolt action rifles considered more accurate than semis? What is the diffence between centerfire and rimfire? Thanks in advance.

Wow, that was quick. I know that one advantage was a reduction in weight with the shorter action, but the T3 is very light. And if it works perfectly, why mess with a good thing. Any other advantages of the shorter actions? Also, fairly new so excuse my ignorance - what is the difference...

Reading these posts, I may just go out and get another this week:D Truly is a sweet rifle. Any thoughts on Tikka keeping a long action, but shortening the magazine to accomadate the short mag rounds? DDo the Sakos do this, also?

O-BG, More than 1 T3 - I have some catching up to do:) As this is my first substantial rifle (was given a .22 mag as a boy), I may have over done it with the 300wsm (the guy behind the counter told me that with this rifle I had nothing to fear on the North American continent:eek: )...

First time poster and would like to get some feedback re the reputation, history and performance of the Tikka T3. Got it about a month ago and have ordered a 3.5-10 X 44 Zeiss Conquest to mount on her. Anyway, couldn't wait for the scope and went out this weekend to play around and see what all...
