Well I did it...

Dang, that is gorgeous wood for a T3. Sweet.

Very nice Fotis!! I think I will join the 6.5 Swede club in time but I think I’m going to hold out for a nice Mauser sporter or a M70 XTR Featherweight.

What a beautiful fantastic Tikka in such a great package and the chambering is a sweetheart.

Thank you!

That is gorgeous and best of all follows from but to tip of the forarm. I've seen a lot of prety wood peater out halfway down the stock, that is sweet!

I took possession last night. The pictures do NOT do it justice. My Lord!

May you enjoy many hours handling and admiring that beautiful rifle!
Whether it be at home in an easy chair with a favourite beverage, around a campfire with friends and family, or on a hunt/in a stand where you can spend quality time with a handsome firearm that is pure joy to own.
(I know I have a few that fall in this category, and it just fun to pull them out and admire them from time to time during the off season)

I bought a 6.5x55 Tikka recently too! Went with the stainless hunter model. Woods decent but nothing like yours! I have a bunch of Lapua brass, dies & bullets just waiting to go. 140gr Partitions should be perfect in this rifle but I have a lot of others to try. Let us know how yours shoots!

Mine shoots!

Mine shoots!

You can make a pig fly, and that’s what I expected to see happen once you sat down to testing your new Tikka 6.5x55…. You’re just getting going, I’m sure you’ll have that beat sooner or later!
