DonkeyMan Report post Posted October 23, 2021 Hello Horde, Up for sale is one of my favorite rifles, the 7mm-08 Tikka T3 super light. It weighs 8.6 lbs with everything on it. It has mounted and zeroed at a hundred the Meopta Optika 6 3-18 rifle scope with a nice Zplus RD reticle. This would be a great coues gun. I personally have developed a load that pushes 150 grain eldx at a whopping 2845 FPS. This gun will also shoot sub moa with hornaday 150 gr eldx production rounds. Rifle by itself $850 but would prefer to sell as is for $1500. It comes with precision matched athlon rings valued at $100 at no charge as well as a mountain tech picatinny rail. Everything is torqued to spec. Basically, I could hand you this gun and you could go out and kill a coues deer out to 800 yards no problem if you do your part. Note: The rifle did have some aftermarket camo paint added to the stock but you can remove it if you like. Located in Phoenix Metro. Can travel a bit and do get down to tucson a lot Prices are firm.

krp Report post Posted October 23, 2021 Sell the creed, keep the 7... my tikka 708 would be the last gun I'd sell. just say'n... Kent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonkeyMan Report post Posted October 23, 2021 Interesting, how come? Both of these rifles are equally accurate but I already have 2 magnums for hunting and the creed would be for long range target shooting. It’s a BERGARA HMR wildernesses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krp Report post Posted October 23, 2021 Teasing... with truth... But if it's a 1 inch gun at 200 yards like mine is, off the tailgate with bags, and it can push the eld x 162 as fast as the creed can push the 143... But a man should keep the gun he wants.

Its a brake for my suppressor, the brake stays on the rifle.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tontotom Report post Posted October 24, 2021 What thread size? Nice rifle and scope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonkeyMan Report post Posted October 24, 2021 Thanks! I believe 1/2 X 28. But the muzzle break will accept a .30 cal suppressor from griffin armament Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1uglydude Report post Posted October 25, 2021 My kids' 7mm08 Tikka T3x Compact (not TCR, but the old designation for the youth size...12.5" LOP and 20" barrel) is the most accurate rifle I own. It shoots the 145gr LRX like a dream. I joke that I can load it down to 6.5CM velocities if I feel like I ever need to throttle it back a bit. I've been wanting to try the 150gr Eld-X, but I haven't been able to find any. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
