I purchased a brand newTikka Whitetail Hunter (not the T3, but the original WH) in Laminated Stainless in .25-06 some years ago. However, I recently decided to sell it, and I asked the buyer to send me a couple of pictures of how she groups. I think it is reasonable to say that I can take a bulk of the credit for praising Tikkas on this site back in about 2001 when not too many people knew about Tikkas. In any event, I'm kinda re-thinking about the mistake I did in selling this gun, even though virtually all of my other Tikkas group like this. He told me that 2 bullets went through the same hole.
