Ask Wendyj...
I know she shoots Tikka's and she loves them!
I don't know if she has a 223 though.
I do know she shoots clover leaves with her T3 in 7mm-08.

I'm with Kilotanker. Would love a Tikka T3 Hunter...

Have you had any problems with your barrel heating up and groups opening up ?

 

[NHSHOOTER]

Rebs, I have a boyds stock on my tikka which is free floated and it has cooling ports in the forend. I never shoot more that 10 shot groups. My groups stay under and inch or smaller.

How hot is he barrel after 10 shots ? I want to shoot matches where we shoot 20 rounds

 

[NHSHOOTER]

Not too hot to touch but that all depends on the outside temp also.

Thank you guys for all the replies, I appreciate it.
Are the Tikka T3x varmint heavy barrel known to heat up quickly and loose accuracy ?
