I have a new wood stock from my T3 .243 Hunter(bought the rifle last month to convert to 6.5 CRDMR with KRG stock). Please contact me through a private message for details and pics.

Thanks,

I entered my first F-TR match a month ago with .223 T3 Sporter at South Bay Rod and Gun Club near San Diego. I used Creedmoor 77gr TMK factory loads (no reloads yet). I ended up 6th or 7th out of 15(I think) with a score of 436(out of 450 max) – 11X. This was a reduced distance F-TR match at 300 yards with appropriately reduced size targets. There were relatively light winds so I ended up holding off between 3 and 6″ for most of the shots.

It was a lot of fun and I highly recommend it !

I installed the Bix'n Andy trigger on my T3 Sporter a couple of weeks ago. The trigger came with 3 springs and I ended up using the middle weight spring. I set the pull weight at 6 ounces. By the way,  I did try the light spring and trigger weight was down to a couple of ounces! I took the T3 to the range and the trigger “broke” very predictably – I like it!
I drilled a hole on the stock trigger guard so I can adjust pull weight (also opened up the trigger blade slot so I can access trigger pull and sear engagement adjustments. I will buy the MT trigger guard as soon as it is available and modify it for easy access to trigger adjustments.

Bix'n andy Trigger may be available end of September. I will let you know what happens .

“Bix'n Andy trigger” if don't have a budget…best trigger money can buy.

Thanks for the tip. I will call the vendor tomorrow to see how long it will take to get it(they are backordered). I looked into what this trigger offers and it seems to be exactly what I am looking for.

Have any of you guys tried .223 Hornady 53gr V-MAX, #8025? How'd it shoot?

I have a Sporter .223 (1:8″). I tried these Hornady factory loads and if I remember correctly, they were quite good: MOA or just under. I got the best results with factory Black Hills Match 50gr. I tried factory loads up to 70gr. but the light ones shot better. Cannot understand why that would be the case with 1:8 twist .

I have a T3 Sporter in .223 and I could not get the stock trigger to go below 2 lbs. I tried the Ernie spring and the trigger pull went down to about 1lbs 10 oz. Then, I got the JARD trigger with the 10oz spring. That one went down to 16oz. Acceptable, but not as light as what I would have liked the trigger to be for my strictly target shooting. Disclaimer: I measured the pull from the middle of the trigger's curved surface.
