What can I say...it's a Tikka! Definitely one of the smoothest bolts you will ever use to chamber a round. The 6.5x55 Swede round is excellent at long distance. The recoil was a little heavier than expected but not too bad. Similar to a 308 round. Do yourself a favor and purchase an upgrade to the factory recoil pad (I used a LimbSaver AirTech Precision-Fit Recoil Pad 10803) and it certainly helps. The gun weight is excellent and could be carried around all day.

Here in Hawaii we have lots of Axis deer, Mouflon , Feral goats and wild hogs. It is hard to find ammo for the 6.5 swede here, so I order on line through graf and sons. I have to say that the 6.5 is an excellent cartriage, and have taken everything here in Hawaii with no problem. The Tikka t3 is an awesome preformer bar-none. I am stoked with my purchase thank you "BUDS GUNS" for having a hard to get rifle in stock!

As I get older, "less" becomes "more". Less weight, less recoil, less maintenance, less price all become more important. The Tikka 6.5x55 does a good job of being "more" on all accounts. Using "cheapest" imported ammo (I bought it for the brass), 1.5" groups were easy using a 4x scope. My two 16FHSS Savages w/Accustock (250 Savage and 7mm WSM) shot better initial groups (sub MOA), but I used handloads testing them. I haven't tried handloads/good bullets as yet with the Tikka. My wife liked the rifle so much I had to buy another.
