After month of contemplating what riffle to get brand and calibure. I finally landed on the tikka tx3 308 win. And took about a week to finally track one down and I got it right away. So excited to get a scope and fire it for the first time. I was very torn on the 30-06 bc the stores in my area had more 30-06 selection over tge win but canadian tire had a huge selection of different types for the 308. But for a first deer riffle I think it was the better choice.
Nice yeah I was thinking of thqt one but in left hand noone has it and bit out if my range i wanna see if I can even see a deer before spending money I cqn always sell it buy that in feb
Tikka is the way wish I learned that sooner!! Got one for my wife and I will never buy anything else for bolt action after lol I made the mistake of buying a savage never again the action is butter on the tikka. Also 308 or 30-06 are both solid choices I think 308 surplus ammo for range days is easier to find tho. I have 300 win mag and 270 win both cost an arm and a leg
Tikkas in canada was very hard to find it found this one in my small town after calling every major store in canada and small shops in British Columbia it was the only blued left and I found 2 stainless but im left handed
.308 is awesome really, I shoot out to 500 meters with mine on the regular for target and even just plinking from 100 to 300 meters bulk cheap 7.62 NATO is great
Is the 3006 variety even worth it? I was looking at the same rifle and not seeing anything meaningful that says 308 is going to be any less capable unless I want to shoot long range.
