tikka t3 .223

[Guest jarvey]

im buying a tikka t3 with the synthetic stock and blued barrel and was wondering if anyone has a tikka t3 and what their thoguhts are on it. best ammo and what grain and im also looking for a sound moderator as the thread on the screw cuts of a tikka t3 is quite rare for moderators. best moderator for under £200

Ive got a Tikka T3 mate and love it . Accurate rifle mines in .243 and has a T8 fitted , very good moderator just makes the rifle unbalanced when carrying it. My mate also has a Tikka T3 with an S5 mod fitted which is a lot shorter and just screws on the end rather than over the barrel. Both great mods though !

 

I use either 58 grn v-max or 100 grain Winchester ammo , both shooting well !!

hi

 

i got a tikka varmint in .222 it shoots very well great triggers .i use norma 40 grain balistic tips very flat shooting

i got a t8 on it but on inspection it is corroded inside even though i spray with wd 40 every few outings ,you cannot take this mod apart

if i gets another it will be a predator or some thing similar

 

good luck

has your tikka got the standard factory thread as the t3 tactial ?

 

if so it will be a m18x1 which sako use to. i no ase do a thread for this as i have just had my winchester stealth done in this thread.

 

as for ammo try some federal softpoint or federal bt ammo in it 50 or 55 grain i think it is.

you dont hear many bad words about fedreal ammo

Ive just bought a Tikka T3 hunter in 22-250rem and looked at about 10 different sound mods ,i had a T8 on my old remington 22-250rem but was not that struck on the quality but after a very lengthy discussion with the gunsmith on the pros and cons of the different mods i opted to buy another T8 as they have changed one or two things design wise and the new one is a wee bit shorter and it has a bit more thickness where they used to split at the spot welds and it seems not to "ring" like the old model BUT REMEMBER TO REMOVE YOUR T8 WHEN NOT IN USE AND USE WD40 INSDE THE MOD AS THIS WIILL PREVENT CORROSION OF BOTH YOUR BARREL AND YOUR MOD

so t8 a good idea? its about 200 quid if im right. im prepared to pay the money if it delivers so i might go for it. would people recommend soft or hollow point. dont want to make too much of a mess of the quarry but i want to kill first shot everytime. wouldnt want them crawling away to die. will softpoint still do the job with body and neck shots?

 

cheers lads, sound advice

softpoints will more then do the job it leaves loads of damage and foxy will be killed out right with a good chest shot no problem !

tikka always meant accuracy to me. i had an old tikka combination m70 12g/222 rem which i give it to my son. with match ammo from norma or sako it could bit any rifle with varmint barrel all day long good buy and good hunting.
