It's tough to beat a Tikka in price and accuracy!

I'll have a long action DBM available for the Tikka shortly as well. This will give you more flexibly when seating VLD bullets.

I would have to second that.

For those distances, you may want to consider a smaller caliber. Just a thought. There are many non-magnum calibers that will work efficiently to 800yds.

Yep! "tikka t3 SS lite 338 win mag" .....6.44lb!

All you will need is a LimbSaver butt pad.

I actually just bought one and am waiting for my limbsaver before taking it to the range!

I have a Tikka T3 in 300 WSM and it shoots best (unfortunately) with max or near book max loads. I have no trouble sending 180 gr bullets down range at 3000+ fps. The recoil was tolerable for hunting but miserable for load development. After adding a Limbsaver recoil pad, Harris bi-pod and a muzzle brake I can shoot it all day wearing only a t-shirt and I'm more accurate too. Sure it weighs 8 1/2 lbs but I don't care. Also, don't expect the factory scope rings to hold up under all that pounding. Get one-piece mounts from Talley or DNZ. Just my 2 cents worth.

I just picked up an a-bolt with a Bell & Carlson Medalist, which my gunsmith is very fond of for the money. I understand they are available now for the t-3, which may make a good future upgrade. They say they are a drop in stock, but my Browning definetely needed some customization, which took it from a 2.0moa to a .6moa(400yds).
