Dude!!! I'm looking between a thousand and 1500 and you put out a $3,900 rifle on me! 🤣🤣 You got to cut down on that price a little bit bubba!

What are you guys think about the t3x super varmint from Tikka. It has a heavy barrel and comes in 6.5 PRC for $1,699. I'm really not familiar with the Tikka rifles but a lot of you had suggested them. Are they good accurate rifles?

I really like the Tikka T3X Super Varmint. I don't care for the really thin barrels on the lite barrel jobs but this one tickles my fancy and a few other places as well. 🤣🤣🤣

From what I recall Tikka is Sako's economy brand. Every one I've shot is a tack driver, even the lite models. The actions the same just not quite as refined with cheaper stocks.

I had a T1x, so not quite the same, but it was very impressive for what it was and I regret selling it. I can’t imagine the t3x would be any different. There is an aftermarket or there for them, it’s growing but not to the level of the 700’s.

How about the Tikka T3X ACE Game in 6.5 PRC. Backfire YouTube said it was the most accurate gun he shot out of the box .

From a classic wood stocked sporter to a chassis rifle. I ain't even surprised.

Tikka > Bergara. I would also look at Sauer. Actually, I'd find an old Honda 4wheeler and not worry about how much my rifle weighed cos I'd tote it by 4wheeler.

I am in that frame of mind right now I just don't know what I want. I love wooden stocks and my buddy has a M77 in 25-06 that is extremely accurate. His brother has a Bergara that shoots amazingly accurate. That why I pondered the wooden stock but the precision stock the B-14 HMR has is cool. As well as the Tikka T3X Ace Game model. I am just taking some time to make sure I am getting something I won't regret buying down the road. I am leaning toward the Bergara for price and quality. The wooden stock was just a fleeting thought . Whatever I get I want accuracy and versatility. I don't want to rush out and buy right away and then see something I missed the first go around. Ya dig my friend?

I'm going to call bergara on Monday and inquire about a gun made to order. I'd like to get the b14 HMR model with the 22 inch barrel instead of a 24 inch barrel and have the barrel fluted. It would cut down on the weight a little and I would have a little more maneuverability with the shorter Barrel and I wouldn't lose that much velocity. But I'm sure that'll probably cost a million dollars to do. They do have a custom shop but I'm just wondering how much they would charge to do something like that.
