[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2309935, member: 118816"] My experience has been that Tikka seems to know more about what does and what does not perform in their rifles. This is an actual target I fired from my T3X in 30-06 While it only looks like a 4 shot group there are actually 5 in there. The flyer was not the fault of the rifle or ammo, but of my old eyes. While everybody seems to be stuck on a 10 inch twist in .30 caliber its apparent that an 11 inch twist seems to work just as well maybe better. What has really sold me on Tikka's is not only the light weight and inherent accuracy of the lightweight barrel but the fact that the recoil seems to be less than other 30-06 or even .308 rifles I have fired. In addition to this I recently purchased a bore scope. Upon scoping the barrels of all 3 of my Tikkas, T3x's in .270 and 30.06 but also a T1X .22 LR the quality of the machining not only is apparent in the action but continues down the barrel too. Comparing the interior of the barrels on my other rifles the Tikka's show the touch of a master machinist while the others vary between an apprentice to shaky journeyman barrel maker. Yes they all shoot well but one can simply say that they live up to their slogan of, "Second to None!" [/QUOTE]
