I have one from a couple of years ago, not long after I got my first gun, although it was more luck than skill.

>Spent afternoon hunting foxes with new Tikka T3 in .223 on my parents farm
>Walking back to the house along a valley
>It was getting dark
>Rabbit runs across the valley at full speed about 100 yards away
>Shoulder rifle and try to put cross hair on it (scope set to 3x zoom if that matters)
>Just as I get the cross hair on it, it disappears into some long grass
>Fire anyway
>Chamber another round, notice that the rabbit hasn't come out the other side of the grass
>Walk over to where it was
>It was lying there dead, with its heart about a foot away from it
>Heart was still beating

>Heart was still beating

I have heard of this happening before, but it always seems so morbidly strange.

Also I have heard good things about the T3. People saying that it is smoother and stronger than the Rem 700. What do you reckon of it? Also that is quite the impressive shot regardless.

I've only ever shot 5 rounds out of a center fire rifle that wasn't my Tikka or Sako 85, so I'm probably not the best person to ask.

The action is really smooth, but the magazine is single stack so no loading from the top.

I put a custom bottom plate on mine so I could use 10 round AICS mags, which makes it less smooth. I regret doing it because I made a mess of the inletting and probably halved the value of the gun. I want to get a Boyds stock for it and redeem myself, but the rifle is a lefty, so getting one involves using a 3rd party exporter in the US. Total pain in the arse.

>go Deer hunting out in MN
>Uncle, Morfar (Maternal Grandfather and myself
>I am shooting a Savage .30-06 bolt action vortex crossfire scope
>Grandpa has his old as shit Danish Krag-Joergensen 1889 he got from his father, no scope
>Deer Spotted at about 800m
>I line up and shoot
>nicked it and it ran off
>"faggot" t. Morfar
>about 2hrs later
>another Deer at about 850m
>No chance to say anything and Morfar whips up his krag and shoots.
>hike out to deer
>he was popped square in the head
>"That is how you kill a deer, not wound a deer."
>Gee, thanks Morfar.

>Tikka or Sako 85

Well if nothing else you at least have good taste in rifles. They are the only new rifles I would really be excited to purchase.

The action being smooth was something I heard before so I suppose it is true for all the T3's, which is nice. I am not too worried about how how they load but thanks for the heads up.

I have a mate who is a lefty and he has a hard time getting anything that works for him. Hopefully you can redeem yourself though haha.

Are you serious? Even from prone that would be a magnificent shot.

>>34012224
dead serious, i watched him do it and hiked out to the deer. kind of spooked me, t.b.h.

>>34012242
I wonder just how much class it was compared to ass. Still would have freaky.

>>34012330
from what i am told, he has a history of making ridiculous shots. one of his buddies from the USMC talked about how he survived the pacific theater by shooting AND killing anything that moved.

In Iraq hajjis used to chisel holes in walls to fire at us from concealed positions. Usually 6 inches or less. Knew a guy from our sister platoon who spotted one from about 75 yards out and landed a kill shot on him threw his narrow peep hole. USMC 2006 Ubaydi.

Haha, so much for concealed cover. That is awesome.
