Tikka WHITETAIL HUNTER Laminated Stainless .25-06
« on: September 16, 2012, 09:37:28 AM »
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.

Yeah I have the exact same gun.  WH in lam SS in 25-06.  Great gun.  Got it off Auction Arms with scope a couple of years ago.  Killed a couple of deer with it so far.  My reloads shoot very well as well, somewhere between 1/2" & 1".
Something I have learned. .....  DONT see those tikka whitetail hunters.  Got several and still looking.
Best of luck,
Deerandduck

I really liked the older Tikkas.  Had a Whitetail Hunter 243 in wood and blue.  If it would have been in 7m-08 I would still have it.  It just felt right when I pulled it up and shot well.
