I might try that sometime. It really isn’t much more $ than the regular soft points. I particularly was interested in the superformance 178 gr eld-x precision hunter rounds. I have a lot of boxes of my current stuff though. Plus some Sako 180 gr soft points. To use as well. We’ll see. Maybe I’ll try it out for a video or something.
How much does it lbs with scope is it around 6 lbs 🤔 carry a 10lbs rifle all day will get to me. Not yung no more and after a bad motorcycle accident just can't wak the same for miles just in pain and not good the next day. I need lighter rifle but like the Old 30-06 for mule deer 🦌 and Elk in northern New Mexico. Like the SS look all wether.
This rifle is a T3 hunter stainless which means it has a wood stock with a stainless barrel and receiver. It seems fairly light to me. I would guesstimate it is about 6.5 lbs not counting the scope. Tikka makes the T3 light and now the T3X light which has a synthetic stock and they might be a tad lighter but I like the one I got because it is so well balanced. I feel if the stock were lighter the barrel would make it more forward heavy which I don’t like in a rifle.
I don’t find the recoil too bad. Definitely less than the 45-70. A bit more than a .308. I only notice it when bench shooting numerous rounds wearing just a t-shirt. When hunting it’s one shot and I have more clothes covering the shoulder, etc.
100 yds My groupings with a Savage Hunter 110 is tighter and I dont do much shooting.
Looks about what my tikka does, t3x lite in 22-250
Yeah they’re a pretty nice rifle
Try different ammunition mine is flavored in .308 it loves to eat hornady superformance 165cx .5 groups at 100 all day.
