Tikka 222

[jreedtn]

Has anyone shot one of the tikka t3 rifles in 222? Seems not many people have them in that chambering. Other than the action length, it looks like a nice little carry rifle.

Well, the evil devils at euro optic are clearing out that very gun & I succumbed to the temptation and ordered the T3 hunter model in 222 Friday. I suppose you are considering the same?

you will not regret it...but if you do have buyers remorse, I will give you 50% of your cost...

Yes sir! I sure am. The very same one. I think it's probaby harder to find a 222 that doesn't shoot good!

I need another 222 like I need a hole in my head. I have a rem 700 varmint special rebarreled by Dan dowling that shoots scary accurate, but I just sometimes wish I had something a bit lighter to carry. I love sakos, and figure even though they are made a bit cheaper, they (tikkas) are still nice pieces. Can't help the thought of one of the t3 tikkas shooting as good as the old vixens in 222 would. Chamber is probably cut with the same reamer... lol.

Out of curiosity what are they selling them for?

I'm sure that's a shooter! I have seven or eight guns that Dowling has built for me over the years. Every one of them shoots better than I can!

Ha - That's quite the pickup line!

Yes it's just crazy accurate pushing a 52 gr pill with a stout load of n133. People who don't know what it is can get humbled really quick shooting beside it. It's just a little bit heavy to carry. That's the reason I've been eye balling these tikkas.
