Hi,

I have had a Tikka T3 Lite in .270 from new.

Out of the box was able to do 1" groups with no mod.

Since adding a Northstar mod, I have tightened the groups to less that 1".

You can get a new one for less than £1000.

I will never part with mine. It will be with me for life.

Good luck with you search

Cheers

Ross
 
Spend £300 on a good Parker Hale .270 and spend £700 more than you were already planning for on really good glass to go on top. Just as accurate as anything new. I have one, as do Mereside and Vizslamad, all in .270Win' and they are all accurate as hell (at least V's is when anyone other than him is firing it :lol: but that's his OAP eyes rather than the rifle).

If it has to be new, I have endlessly impressed with Gadget's tupperware and stainless steel Tikka T3 - prints irritatingly small groups in all weathers with any round he shoves through it, from my polished and fettled handloads to crappy PPU ammo. I also like the X Bolt as it is light and has the nicest synthetic stock I have handled on a rifle.

got 1k (when our lass losers her bet)for the scope in afew weeks so got that covered.could get abit more together for a better rifle if it stands out from the rest but only another 3/4 hundred at a push.stav

Was that the left handed one offered by Steve Beatie a few months back? Have been keeping my eyes open for one since although never seen one in the flesh.
 
Edit; There (was) is a nice Tikka 595 Deluxe in .270, screw cut I/2" UNF on Guntrader @ £495.

Yes it is. As Lee says, extremely accurate. I had one back in the late eighties, so of a similar time to his and it was very accurate. When I was looking again, it was a no-brainer when this one appeared. PM sent.
 
Go for a good secondhand sako,if it was me and i could scrape the extra cash together i'd defo go for that 75 Flytie suggested at Macloeds,yummy.
 
Stav i would be looking at sako or tikka or a remington as these seem to be popular makes. i got a t3 in 270 recently and its an accurate rifle it will key hole 130feds at 100-150 yards no problem, i would stick with one of the above they are not to expensive and ive not heard of anyone who has problems with them :)
