    Tikka Riffles

    Seems that buying a Tikka t3 light in a 7mm08 is just about impossible these days. Why? Is it because the 7mm08 is gaining popularity within the hunting community or are they just not making manny of them.

    I wonder why more people aren't turning to the old 284Win? Now that we have such high BC VLD bullets available I don't think you can beat the 284WIN for most any LR and SR hunting scenario.

    Definitely a chamber that should be on the come-back IMO

    I bought one from Granlunds a few months ago. Left hand stainless, shot <1" right out of the box with handloads.

    The 7mm is a way better bullet for the 308 case. The 7mm is so popular not just here in North America, but many folks are turning in the 6mm(.243) for the bigger 7mm-08. I have one I use for deer hunting and never use my larger caliber for deer any more. The 7mm-08 is made by most if not all manufactures of quality firearms.
