Newest family member!

Hey all,

Just adopted my newest family member. It took almost a year of trying to find it. After emailing and calling numerous shops around canada I was able to find this gem at reliable guns in Vancouver. After debating to buy a browning Xbolt or a tikka t3, I picked the tikka. More or less because I wanted a stainless steel with a synthetic stock and browning did not offer it in a left handed model. I did not settle, this was the one I wanted. It's a left handed tikka t3 308win that's wearing a leupold vx3 4.5-14 cds scope with dnz one piece mount. I love it so far and hoping to take it out this weekend to fire form some brass so that I can start working out some hand loads.

Nice rig!

And the bolt is on the correct side.

Thanks guys! I can't wait to take it to the range and see what it can do, so excited!

Very nice, and I approve of your choice in optics. I had one in 30-06 a few years back, real tack drivers.

Nice. My first rifle I bought after the mandatory 22 is the same type but in 270. Great rifle. Still have it. I shoot left as we'll. keep us posted on its shooting.

Gotta love the tikka in the stainless. Sharp looking set up!

Very, very nice! Why the DNZ mount? Your other thread was leaning to Tallys. I am a fan of the DNZs but those Tallys look pretty interesting.

I was leaning towards the tallys but I wasn't able to find them for a tikka in Calgary but I did find the dnz mounts. I mean I could have waited and paid shipping to get them here, but was impatient. Now that I have mounted the dnz mounts, I really like how it looks and you never know it may be what I was looking for in the first place. If they fail, which I don't think they will, I could always try the tallys next time.

I think you will be happy with them. Looking forward to the range/target pictures!

As soon as I get some time off work I'll be going to the range, I can't wait to shoot it. I will definitely post some pics of my groupings when I get back!
