I bought one in April and I tried Hornady whitetail hunter, sst, and the eld ammo. Mine love the Whietail hunter also but the other two preformed well also.

I'm one of those who had a headspace issue. Bought a new T3X lite in 6.5 CM noticed the bolt was hard to open after firing. This happened with factory ammo (3 different types), it also occurred when using a spent cartridge as a dummy round or dry firing. I contacted Beretta USA and described my problem. They had me send it back in diagnosed and… Read more

I have fired the gun now and love it. I have also done some pondering about my issue. Tell me what you think of my diagnosis.
Since the bolt operated freely when cocked I figured the bolt and lugs were good, and not causing the binding. I thought it had to be inside the bolt since these are the only parts that move when or after firing. I took the… Read more

I also am new to Tikka's and had/have an issue with the the Tikka T3X bolt handle being hard to open after firing. I noticed this when I first got it and before I even took it to the range & fired it. When cocked the bolt would cycle as smooth as silk, but once fired it took a lot of effort to operate the action. Since the bolt operated freely… Read more
