Default Heads up on a stolen Tikka 7mm Rem Mag

My truck got stolen last night and inside was my Tikka T3 7mm Remington Magnum hunting rifle with 3.5x10x50 Vortex Diamondback BDC scope, and my backpack full of hunting supplies. Happened east of Calgary in Strathmore. Thanks guys.

Did ya ever think that maybe the OP was hunting coyotes or something? All winter long I leave all my warm winter camo, foxpro, range finder, shooting sticks, and everything else associated with hunting coyotes in my vehicle.

Really a sad testament to our society and legal system. Bust your tail to get some nice things and then you have to spent a bunch more to protect and secure those nice things. Oh, and by the way, don't even think about taking the law into your own hands! Just call the police, they will give you a case number for your insurance company and you can get new stuff. Maybe not the best idea to leave the rifle in the truck, but maybe if we had a judicial system with some teeth we wouldn't have to worry about this crap!

Gotta admit I'm with the 'what the heck were you thinking camp'.
There is now a high power rifle in the hands of obvious criminals, who may use it with deadly force against an innocent person.
To those who say it's so terrible of the 'superior' people to be commenting...as owners of items that do have death dealing capabilities we most certainly do have a responsibility to keep them out of the hands of criminals.

Pretty sure if you get access to statistic you will find with surprise that Trucks killed way more people than Tikka
So main object of public safety should be not a rifle but a truck !

And to the OP, that sucks. Hope you get your stuff back
