Sounds like a plan!!  Thanks for the pics!  I would've never thought that the Varmint was actually that much thicker than the CTR, glad I asked.  Funny, most of the time the thick barrels is what drives the price of a rifle up, but I guess “Tactical” is all the rage now. 

I like a thicker barrel for bench shooting, and in the woods I really don… Read more

I don't own a Tikka…… yet, but I would for sure stick to lefty if that's what you shoot.  If found some on gun broker and other such sites yoh should check out, especially if a barrel is something you want, you'd just need a stock and action to be decent.

As for 223, I think it's a good round, lots of options, lots of reloading data, etc.  I h… Read more

That's what I was thinking, save a cool few hundred bucks, haha, better glass?  But still wondering the specs of these barrels.  Unfortunately,  I can't seem to find alot of Tikkas around to hold them side by side

Wow, that is impressive shooting!

But I guess I'm having a hard time noticing the differences here.  Does the TCR (which was my first pick,  cause I'm a smaller guy) have a thicker barrel than the Varmint?  And how much thicker than the regular T3's?  It's about $500 more than the Varmint, the Varmint being $300 or so more, but from what I can see… Read more
