Tikka T3x varmint in 223

[rebs]

Does anyone here have this rifle ? Is there any problem with barrel heat up after a few shots causing flyers ?

I had a .223 T3 Sporter (Same barrel/profile) and found no problem with the POI moving as the barrel warmed over a 17-22 shot string. I don't know if I won the factory barrel lottery or what but it was the most accurate and consistent factory barrel I have ever shot (~.4 inch at 100y with various 69-80 gr loads and good accuracy out to 600 - 20" barrel).

I used it when I first got into club F-Class and it was a great rifle, it now sits in a KRG X-Ray and has a 28" straight taper Bartlien and it is better still!
