New T3 Sporter

[hideous]

Hello

anyone here tried/handled a new T3 Sporter ?

I like the laminated stock - its an upgrade from their old MASTER SPORTER isn't it ?

Pictures look like a full weight barrel.

Checked on out at my local range. They are not a bad looking bit of gear... BUT way over priced. What are they, $2850?

You could buy a Tikka varmint, CDI bottom metal and a Manners stock and have something even better for around the same money! Everyone to their own....

On another note, I bought my first Tikka today... interesting

Cheers

I have sold up everything mate... no more big fancy guns for me. Time to grow up!

I bought a Tikka Stainless Lite on 30-06. It is better than I first thought it would be without even shooting it yet. If it shoots 0.75-1MOA I will be happy. Only going to run factory ammo. scope will be vortex PST 1-4X24 in milrad. All up a shade over 7lbs. This will be my backpacking rifle.

cheers

I am considering the same thing with this T3 Sporter.
Ditch the heavy barrel LA Savage 110 in .223 and the CZ 527 and buy one rifle to do both.

You guys have taste in your asses that thing looks cool!
The price makes it a bit less appealing though!
