For sale: Tikka T3 CTR 308 20".

Factory features: Semi-heavy barrel, muzzle is threaded and capped, low profile pic rail, coated bolt, oversized bolt handle, 10 shot magazine, 1/11 twist rate, RRP: $2,600.

In standard factory condition with minor adjustments such as; free-floated barrel, lightened trigger, degreased and torqued with loctite.  This may have contributed to it being the most accurate and unfussy rifle i had, from it not changing its zero when heated, to shooting most ammo types to the same zero, which makes it very convenient.

I tried various ammo types and it achieved sub 1 moa for 5 shots consistently with; 130gr HP Winchester (cheap), 135gr HP OSA/ADI, 165gr SP OSA/ADI, 165gr TAP, and 168gr TAP. The following grouped 1-1.5moa; 168gr PPU (cheap - group shown in picture), 180gr SP Sako, and 180gr Woodleigh.

It presents in very good condition with minor scratches from usage and storage. I also have a muzzle break, which i barely used, but can say it softened the recoil to something like a 223. Reluctant sale, as it's the most accurate and reliable rifle i have owned, (has been compared to Sako, Montana, Browning, and other Tikka's), but need to sell from travel commitments.
