DL. Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Dave, I have had a look at them in a few gun shops, the difference between the T3 & the older tikka that I use is that the action length is pretty long on the T3, the stock doesn't feel as comfortable as the older one & the technical experts will be able to advise,but I think there's something different with the recoil lug. If you are buying new, I am not certain that T3's offer fantastic value. A s/h sako 75 might tick the boxes a bit better. These look familiar : http://www.sakoa7.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntsman Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I have a t3 lite stainless in 6.5x55 for nearly 5 yrs now and can't fault it. I have a sako 75 too, build quaility is better no doubt but at a price and don't like the Sako 85 series. As for the wood on the hunter models it looks cheap almost synthetic, there is a deluxe model this may be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 T3s are incredibly popular in NZ amongst deer shooters. I have an SS 7-08 and am very pleased with it- light, accurate straight out of the box and the stock is DEF not as flexy as many others, the kids' Rem SPS for a start. The action is "basic" in design but it's very smooth and just does the biz. Integral dovetail which is only a bonus IMHO. As a deer gun, you could do a lot worse Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapper Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I have both T3 and Sako 75. I prefer Sako but, to be honest, they are both good and not a lot to chose between them as actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilishdave Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Thanks for the replies, I picked up a T3 hunter in .308 with S&B 6x42 on xmas eve. Only problem is when udjusting the trigger the spring for tensioning the safety catch pinged off and I cant find the damn thing, had half the family searching the area of the house in question including hoovering with a clean dyson the running a strong magnet over the dust!! If any one has changed their T3 trigger and has a spare safety clip let me know please, I will be happy to pay a reasonable sum for it and postage.
