[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1313063, member: 4191"] We've shot game out to 850 yds with Tikkas in 7mm RM. And verified POIs by shooting them on targets at 1000yds. Done reasonably well, but the rifle rest and shooter must be A game quality, compared to shooting a rifle with some additional weight. The handicap I refer to is at those extended ranges. Not shooting offhand at closer ranges. Offhand they're fine. The one bothersome thing is with a 30oz scope mounted over the receiver, the rifle gets top heavy / unbalanced. I disliked that enough that I removed those scopes in favor of a 22-24 oz scope. And that's as heavy as a scope as I'll ever put on them. Tikka T3s are wonderful rifles, for the money spent. Just 2 negative things to say: 1) the factory supplied scope rings used to be Tonka toy quality and would fail in the larger higher recoiling cartridges, and 2) the price they charge for additional mags is dumbfounding! I don't know if they still come with the Cracker Jacks scope rings or not. I mounted one piece rails and Seekins' rings to both of mine, and solved that problem. [/QUOTE]
