Buy recommendations Thoughts?
Looking for a rifle for deer season and have decided i want a tikka, I’ve never bought from gunpost or had a rifle shipped that wasnt from a retailer.

Not gonna lie, this is a pretty good deal.
I recently picked up a t3x lite stainless @ retail new cus it was on sale for just about 1grand taxes in and usually the stainless are around $1350 before tax. It didn't come threaded so i had my gunsmith cut the barrel down and thread and that was another $350ish.
Looks like this seller already has all the common upgrades done to it already. If you need something simple, I'd be inclined to pick it up with the scope as well this way you can just head to the range pretty much as soon as you get it; those Crossfire HD's are very nice and i've already picked up a few for some simple setups on loaner rifles for my hunt group.

Hmmmm well tikka is great, .308 is great. My only concern is the muzzle break. If it's clamp on no problem but if it's been threaded, if be careful. Tikkas have very thin barrels and gunsmiths usually won't do that work because there's not much material to work with.
I'm suspicious of used guns, it's possible a rookie threaded the barrel and now it's an inaccurate rifle, or a rifle one drop away from disaster.

Don't know what you are talking about. A lot of tikkas have muzzle devices. Almost everyone I know that has a tikka has had a muzzle brake added to it. Mine was threaded 1/2-28 by a gunsmith ans is still super accurate. Sure if it was done by an amature it can affect shit but this is true for any rifle

On the lite? I know it's very common for varmint/ctr models
