I think it’s a great round , when I started with it it was expensive to reload ( I’m in England ) it’s getting cheaper, great ballistics at 1km has more energy left than 300 win mag , I didn’t believe this at first so check it out and it was correct , if you like experimenting with reload there’s lots to check out , the new thing to compare is ether small or large primer pocket , you can get the speed over 3000 ft/s but might be at the expense of accuracy , I’m running at 800 m/s great grouping and easily out to 1km using my last .123 a-max’s and 140 gn nosler custom comps , next when I get the barrel swapped out I’ll be trying nosler 140 rdf there getting good reports over here ,
Also the recoil is very soft -
Tier – one unimount , has used by all the premium (European ) scope company’s
-
Looks like an older T3 to me still a great rifle you just need to swop out the recoil lug for a steel one and just make sure the barrels fully floated
-
I nearly the same has you but I clean after every shot for the first 5 then the same has you , also you’ve opened a can of worms asking this lol
-
Caliber ?
-
Firstly great caliber , has for the lite or the ctr it’s realy down to you and your ability to carry a heavier rifle , but if it was me it would be the ctr , there’s been lots of people go with the lite and then start adding muzzle breaks etc and ending u with a rifle that has quite a bit of extra weight , and you have only the day sac to carry I wouldn’t of though a ctr carried with a sling would be a problem
-
You are correct the Manuel is wrong , I’ve forgotten what it should be , hopefully somebody will be along and tell you the correct setting , has for the bottom metal if you Uk try tier-one if your USA mountain tactical if your somewhere else ether one , I’d also replace the screws with mountain tactical ones, if it’s a new rifle you could try and complain to the importer and see if you can get it replaced by them !
-
The stocks for the T3 will fit the T3x , and by the way welcome ,
-
I cannot see that they’ed be any difference in accuracy between the two stocks has the barrel is /should be fully floated , the only think think you might have to watch is the torque on the action screws on the wooden stock depends if there’s pillers in there or not
-
My understanding is if it’s a lite the only difference is the diameter of the barrel , there quite thin and will heat up fast , the barrel diameter on a varmit is quite a bit larger
-
You’ll just have to buy some and try them through the gun , what works for one gun might not work in another , but if you use the same round for target and range he’ll get more of understanding on where the bullet will hit with a given distance and wind / weather conditions , also is it worth the hassle putting cheap ammo through a good rifle for me it seams a waste of a good barrel
-
First of all have you tried a differant recoil pad and a muzzle break both will help with felt recoil without the expense of a new stock
-
Interesting , I might be wrong here in my thinking is that if it’s melting and spinning , it will still shoot true because the melting will be uniform ,
Also good group sunshine , if you want / need to play about there’s good results changing the seating depths -
Lots of people are getting great results over here because of the great ballistics especially from 800metre out to over 1.5 Km still don’t believe the old A-max tips were melting , I’ve not been shown any data except from Hornady , but it’s a great marketing tool to get people to change lol
-
Not a problem I’m in England , so cannot say for the USA , but I don’t see why not it’s also fun getting a better score with a tikka that someone that’s spent $$$$$ and still cann’t Shoot
