[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 341170, member: 4191"] My Tikka T3s in 7mm Rem Mag are tack drivers. Harvested several animals from 720 to 850 yds with handloaded ammo. T3 stands for tack driver for 3 shots. After the third shot, the groups will open up some in the magnum cartridges as the thin-tubed barrels begin to heat up. In all fairness, I've never owned, shot, or even touched a Savage or Stevens. Those may be very good rifles also for their purchase price. But I've yet to talk to the owner of a T3 that wasn't happy with out of the box accuracy. The T3s are hard to beat if you're looking for a relatively lightweight carry rifle at a relatively low cost. If you work up a handload tuned to your specific T3, it shouldn't be hard to get them performing up to LR hunting potential. A relative owns and operates a gun shop and many T3 owners report very good results with factory ammo. [/QUOTE]
