[QUOTE="jfolanddvm, post: 2279783, member: 70626"] I have rarely talked to anyone that shoots regularly that had a tikka that wasn't a shooter. I have an early model T3 243 with a walnut stock, a T3 308 in the cheap plastic stock, a CTR 6.5 cm in a chassis, and a T3 lite veil in 6.5 cm. All are easily sub MOA with factory ammo. The CTR is consistently half MOA with Hornady precision hunters, and the Lite veil shoots 1/4 to 1/2 MOA consistently with the Hornady ammo as well. I bought the lite veil after I shot my father in law's rifle and shot several sub 1/4 inch groups with it at 100 yds. Although every Tikka I have shoots well, these lite veils seem to have stepped up the quality even further. I'm sure the improved stock has a lot to do with it. For less than $1200, you get a fluted barrel, fluted bolt, cerakote, good stock, muzzle break, and phenomenal accuracy. I have several custom hunting rifles that cost 3-5 times what this one does, and none of them will outshoot it. The only downside is the 308 comes with a 1:11 twist barrel, so it may limit bullet choices a little, but for a hunting 308, there are tons of factory ammo choices that will shoot well through it. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
