[QUOTE="motown, post: 955805, member: 49799"] I just bought a tikka t3 in a 243 to add to the collection. I only have been able to do limited load development so far but it looks very promising. Using imr-4064 and sierra 85 grn hpbt gamekings i have been able to average 1/2" 3 shot groups at 100 yards and around 1.5" at 200 yards. With that being said the post outlaw made about tikka is correct in the fact it has a pencil thin barrel and accuracy starts to suffer after 3 shots or so even allowing some time to cool between shots. Just my opinion but if you are looking for a lightweight accurate hunting rig then the tikka is great. If you are looking to shoot a decent amount from the bench then i would look more towards a savage which sports a little beefier barrel. [/QUOTE]
