Went to SCHEELS to pick up some 7mm-08 ammo and figured I’d checkout the used gun rack. Usually nothing spectacular on there. But this time I got lucky and picked this up! ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/06/full-46987-422673-img_8723.jpeg) Tikka T3 in .243 Win with a Leupold Rifleman 4-12x40! It had a price of $500 on it and I couldn’t leave the store without it. Cleaned it up and going to give it to my daughter for her first hunting rifle.

That will be a FABULOUS first hunting rifle for your daughter! Way to go.  I gave mine a T3 in 7mm-08 some years ago.

Wow, that's an outstanding pickup! Congrats!
Distance is not the issue, but the winds can make it interesting!

Great rifle, great old cartridge. Now, let's make it 16 1/8" and thread it.

Thank y'all for the kind words! Great rifle, great old cartridge. Now, let's make it 16 1/8" and thread it. Hahah I just might have to do that. Or get an 18" threaded prefit barrel. Either way, I might be reaching out to you!

Tikka makes a great rifle!! I have an older Tikka 243 that I bought here on the forum and it can hold its own against some of the most expensive rifles I have ever shot.

I have two Tikka .243's and a .308. They're all shooters for sure!
