[Huntergeorgetwo]

Hello all.
First post.
Been a member for awhile, I find most every thing I need  with search, but this time
I found out about a recall on Tikka rifles from 2004/2005 or so.

The ? I have is this, I picked up a Tikka T3 Lite SS in 6.5X55 SE same as NIB at a gun
show today  S/N  A93XXX  is this a newer gun or older from the recall years?

Thanks

Hay all.
Update. From my S/N A93xxx my rifle was built mid 2009, this was from a call to
Beretta USA today.     I'm Good to go.

Thanks

Good for you.  Saved you some frustration having to send it in for repair.  I think the T3 in the Swede would be a wonderful rifle to carry and would be effective on just about any game animal in North America.  Good luck with it.

Hay All,
I got a chance to go to the range and shoot my Tikka T3 in 6.5X55 with
Two factory loads, first was Winchester 140gr. Power points they averaged
2416 fps and shot a little over 2in. at 100yd.

Next was Prvi-Partzan 139gr. Soft point they averaged 2467 fps and shot a
0.940in. group, I would like to try this again in next few days to see if it was a fluke
Or if I can repeat it.
 
Thanks

Sounds good, but you probably won't be able to repeat. It will probably shoot better next time!

Hay all,
Got to shoot the rest of the Prvi-Partizan for the brass, 17 rounds over one and
one-half hours went into 1.687in. at 100yds.

Next trip to the range with reloads of 46.5gr, IMR 4831 Prvi-Partizan brass and
Hornady 129gr. Interlock soft point Avg. 2751 FPS and shot 5 into 0.958in. at 100 yds.

Big smile on my face. Hope it will continue to do that each time

Thanks
