Appreciate your continued discussion and keeping the .270 Win as a focus. Definitely my preferred caliber. I miss my Tikka T3 lite with stainless barrel and Steiner GS3 glass which was great a 200 yards and never got to go further before I had given it up. Just very accurate, but was about a $1800 investment. However, thanks to that velocity and flat shooting of the .270 Win, my Howa 1500 with Nikko-Stirling scope package a little over $500 is still a great bargain (built with the same action as the Weatherby Vanguard series as you know) and very accurate as well. I have installed a removable magazine upgrade package for 5 and 10 round mags, though still liked the original drop mag fine. Both of you have nice set ups and thanks for the chat!
Looking for 243 24" barrel. Dont think tikka makes anything in 24"? Not that i can find. Heard tikka actions are the smoothest. I wont buy a rifle less than 24"
Some of us in the lower 48 are poor so, I just got a Boyd's Stock for my .270 Winchester Remington 783 and it seems lighter than the factory plastic stock that came on the gun. Great video!
Had a chance to handle a Kimber mountain in 308 and the Tikka T3X super lite. Own a T3X Hunter already. Both were nice and lite rifles. I think there is part of me that still leans towards Tikka. Though it's moot since both were wrong handed for me. The Kimbers were $799 and the Tikkas were $749. So very competitive price wise.
@@adublbeatz8656 Both would be good choices, and I haven't shot the superlite but I must add, if you're going 270 maybe stick with the Lite. I'd go superlight with a lighter recoiling cartridge like .223 or .243. The .270 does kick enough to notice with lightweight stocks. I have a small bruise (nothing big) on my shoulder after a session bore sighting, checking groups at 100yards, the rifle shoots accurate btw. First few groups got me touching holes with Core Lokt 130gr, GMX 130gr. In a hunting scenario, one to a few shots you'll be fine, but for any practice session where you'll test different boxes of ammo for loads your gun likes, if you go superlite, the gun might beat you up a bit your first session. Factory cerakote is also nice to have. The slightly heavier stainless barrel, cerakoted in that awesome color that works well in mountains, plains and deserts will guarantee a lifetime of worry-free use.
I'm going to swap out the stock T3x recoil butt pad for a LimbSaver or Pachmayr pad. Good thing about T3x is it's easy to do. I also put on a Mountain Tactical 0 MOA base to the receiver to mount lightweight yet capable optic: Trijicon AccuPoint 3-9x40 (only 13.4 ounces) with Trijicon standard height aluminum rings, to complete my lightweight build. So far so great! I'd definitely recommend the T3x Lite Veil Alpine in .270 winchester.
couple nice rifles, Tikka = sub MOA most of the time. I have 3, best bang for your buck. Had a muzzlebrake installed on my t3x 300 WM, helps a bit. love the content of your vid.
Can they do that on the stainless? Or does barrel taper too much. That’s the rifle I want but that lightweight and that caliber wouldn’t be any fun to shoot
I have a Tikka T3 Stainless in 338 Win Mag that shoots sub MOA all day! I just purchased a customized stainless T3X in 7 Rem Mag with Six carbon fiber barrel in a BC stock. It's on the way and I'll replace the stock with one similar (Altitude) at only 24oz, which is even lighter than the Tikka plastic stock. I like the 270, 300 Win and 300 RUM. Have owned many rifles and am trying to create my shooting battery, which means some letting go of guns to get several nicer weapons. I do like Kimbers, but not their high bolt lift! Plus at some point rifles can be too light! For the money T3s are tough to beat!
I have bought Tikka’s and Sako’s and the Tikka is a better rifle for the price have several of each gun! Sako has extraction and feed problems on their 75’s and 85’s
Lookin for a rifle. Tikka or a kimber. Heard good n bad bout both. Are they worth the money? Are they accurate? I can tell you bout my scopes all day. I got a few. Was just wonderin, are they that good? I love my savage 110 for $800 and love my sauer S100 for $1500. Both GR8 but im lookin for for somethin in between.
Nice to see you use a real rifle instead of that 45-70 you grabbed from a childs toybox. Now you have something that will take game instead of launching tubes of lipstick.
Now I've owned a Tikka... great rifle! No complaints. However everyone that is saying a Tikka is just as good for less money is kidding themselves. The Kimber is a better rifle, hands down. Please stop pretending otherwise.
@@ChromeArty Kimber is trash. I’ve seen way more that can’t shoot than can. I’d rather have a Hawkeye if I’m getting crf. I’ve fooled with every rifle available on the market. Kimber isn’t even top 5 for the price imo
@@ULFISHGETTER ps. Don't get me wrong. I shot a bear with a Tikka last month. I like em and all. It's just not as nice a rifle... imo. I don't like a long action for a shirt action cartridge. It's like a fake hoodscoop or fake shutters, I just bugs me 😆

I love my Tikka t3x Roughtech in .308. Took out a Hog last weekend with it. Tack Driver, and smoothest action.
Kimber hunter is also light weight for a lot less money than the mountain ascent and less than the tikka
It’s a great option!
Tikka is definitely the better bang for the buck. The standard t3’s are the best sub-$1,000 rifles in my opinion.
Looking for 243 24" barrel. Dont think tikka makes anything in 24"? Not that i can find. Heard tikka actions are the smoothest. I wont buy a rifle less than 24"
Thanks Chuke and Cory, Tikka rifles are a good option

I had the same experience with Boyd’s on my 700. It was a pleasant surprise.
Hey, we got po people up here in Alaska too. 😂
@@inupik23 Po don't discriminate!
Ain't that the truth! 😂
@@joeltowle2737 you know what they say, put a Commie in office and we can all be poor together.
Great comparison, either is an excellent choice
Always carry an extra loaded mag in your shirt pocket. Things happen up in the mountains.
Yep for sure

I finally received the Tikka T3x Lite Veil Alpine in .270 that was backordered for months. Can't wait to shoot it :)
What's your thoughts about it?
@@adublbeatz8656 love it.
@@GunsAndGrenache good to hear. I'm down to that one, or, the t3x superlie 270 true timber. Stainless steel barrel vs cerakoted barrel.....

I have a T3 original stainless. Topped with a Vortex 4-16x44 BDC. .270. My go to rifle
Chuke what do you think of the savage 110 ultralite compared to the Kimber Mountain ascent?
Good gun with an excellent trigger. Could be a good option If you wanted to save some money.
Stainless with factory camo stock is Very Cool !!!!!

60 years of hunting and having hundreds of guns and tikka is the best gun out there in that price range!

What 270 WIN ammo did you find works well for the Tikka?
We both liked Nosler partitions!
The intro is a masterpiece
Problem with the tikka is the magazines being too short for the chamber
My buddy had his Ascent 270wsm sent back a few times.... Stupid feeding issues...... reason why i didnt get one too...
Nice honest review with real life experience!
Love my 270's and I have a 270wsm for toothy beasts
I bought the tikka t3x 7mm, im 6 4” i find the lop to short but they all feel that way
When did Bill and Ted start a gun review channel ?
I've had both. The Tikka T3x is more accurate with store bought ammo.
The Tikkas are built in the Sako factory.
Great video, I have the Tikka T3 light in 30:06, love it very accurate.
Be nice to see them shoot side by side.
A man with a tikka and a Glock would be a formidable opponent ❤
I bought a used Tikka Hunter in .270 wsm off Gobroker and was getting sub moa with 130’s and 150’s in cheap hunting ammo.
So What exactly is that coat at 6 min mark!?
Have to say like the kimber mt rifle the must. Light weight for pack rifle.
I love the intro haha
Haha thanks man!
I lost a magazine once but it was on the hike out. So I always carry a small ammo pouch. Taking the magazine out would probably be the smarter move
yep
Almost 20.000 Chuke " in not even half the time "
Link to his page please
Ill go for the tikka cuz the action
Mercia!
WTF am I watching, and why am I not subscribed!?
Every other word out of this dudes mouth is "um".
I have a sako finnbear 280 Remington sako a7 308 sako finnlight 300 wsm
I have bought Tikka’s and Sako’s and the Tikka is a better rifle for the price have several of each gun! Sako has extraction and feed problems on their 75’s and 85’s
