Tikka T3x Varmint Stainless Rifle - Various Calibers

I slapped a scope on this thing and took it to the range to zero it and it stacks rounds. The action is incredible and the added weight of the heavy barrel feels very nice. Love it

Further to my previous post of Feb 1/24, I now have shot 220 rounds of various ammo manufactures in my Tikka 243 varmint rifle. Amazingly I had to go through 8 boxes of ammo before I shot 1 moa or less at 100 yards. The rifle didn't like Federal Power Shok 80 or 100 grain (1-3 moa) Remington High Performance Rifle 80 grn (1-2 moa). Hornady Precision Hunter 90 grn ELD-X (1-11/4 moa) Hornady Superformance Varmint 75 grn V-max (1-11/2moa). What it did like was Norma White Tail 100grn (3/8" moa consistently). It also liked the Aguila 100grn Boat Tail SP (3/4" moa, and Sako Game Head 100 grn Soft Point (1"moa). I was surprised it didn't like the Hornady as they are quite well reported on in articles I read. Just reinforces the old saying. Guns just like certain types of ammo. Hope this review helps someone.

Dealing with Al Flaherty was excellent. Ordered the firearm on line, about 2 weeks ago, and spoke with them over the phone a couple times. They were very pleasant/knowledgeable to deal with and well versed with the firearm I purchased. The firearm was well packaged and arrived when promised. The T3X SS Varmint is a beautiful well crafted firearm. Fit and finish is flawless. Would have given a 5 star but I haven't had a chance to shoot the gun. If it is a 5 shot sub MOA as they advertise for this rifle then it's a 5 star. Would strongly recommend dealing with Al Flaherty.

Good group

I bought this Tikka back in April 2021. The shipping of my order was extremely fast. The rifle amazed me. The matte stainless finish is gorgeous and the barrel crown is nicely done. For some reasons, the bolt is even smoother than on my Tikka T3x Lite with a blued finish. The factory fixed cheek riser works with medium rings, 0 MOA M1913 rail and a 40mm objective. The vertical grip and the wide fore end are good extras. For the cons, I would say the factory magazine. They are totally overpriced. They are all plastic and they retail for $105!! The extended magazine provided can only fit 4 rounds of 300 Win Mag due to the cartridge's belt. As this is my first magnum rifle and as the rifle is still fairly light, the recoil took me a bit by surprise while shooting from the bench. I'll get the barrel threaded by a gunsmith at some point and I'll put a muzzle brake on.

Excellent rifle.

Wow, what a shooter! The action is as smooth as ice covered in butter. Had it out today and shooting cheap Winchester Super X 150gr or Hornady match 168's all printed 5 shot groups under an inch at 100yds. Al's had the best price in Canada when I bought my rifle. Love it!
