The Tikka T3 offers all the features and benefits of the popular Whitetail series, plus a sexy look and a truly unbeatable price tag. The heart of the T3 is the hyper-accurate cold-hammer forged barrel, sturdily anchored to a silky-smooth action. The trigger is crisp and positive, and is easily adjustable for weight of pull (2-4lbs). This barrel action is designed to give you unbeatable out-of-the-box accuracy, the same accuracy for which Tikka rifles are gaining such a dedicated following in the USA.
Among the many revolutionary features of the Tikka T3 line, one of the most noticeable is the lightweight and fast handling of the Lite models. One of the lightest production rifles on the market, the Tikka T3 Lite is designed to combine low weight with the trademark sub-minute-of-angle accuracy. This model feels, looks and shoots like a custom shop rifle, but only costs a tiny fraction in comparison.
The body of the T3 is the work of famed Italian designer Giugiaro. True to their excellent reputation, Giugiaro styled the T3 stock to perfectly blend innovative looks and traditional lines. The result is a gorgeous yet highly ergonomic stock that will please young and seasoned shooters alike.

The 270 Winchester was introduced in 1925 in the Winchester Model 54 bolt-action, forerunner to the Model 70. Based on the 30-06 case necked down, it was the first production cartridge to use a .277-inch bullet. Why this bullet diameter was chosen is not clear. The intent, however, was to create a cartridge that shot flatter than the 30-06 and produced less recoil. This effort was so successful that the 270 Winchester remains the world's most popular 270 cartridge...and since 1925 only three other commercial cartridges have used this bullet diameter. With a 130-grain bullet at 3060 feet per second and a 150-grain bullet at 2950 the 270 is powerful and flat shooting. It is adequate for game up to elk, ideal for virtually all American deer hunting, and, as it's long-time champion, gunwriter Jack O'Connor, so often wrote, it is a marvelous choice for mountain hunting. It is a standard chambering for almost all rifle makers, and choices in factory loads run into the many dozens. — Craig Boddington
