My son got a tikka t3 in 7-08 from his grandfather for Xmas when he turned 14, he is 30 now, moose, deer, yotes etc all taken with the little seven, asked him once when we were sitting on the side of a hill are you ever gonna get a rifle chambered in a bigger caliber.....response was...why?

I had no answer.
