This guy is really milking this tikka thing.

[Q_Sertorius]

Well that make two different channels saying the tikka super light in 7prc
Just isn’t that great and has a few problems
I don’t own a tikka ( only Sako) so I don’t know about them generally , but multiple bad reviews gives me pause, probably due to weight and design

I’m shocked that a fairly stiff cartridge in a fairly light rifle isn’t a good combination.

I know nothing about the Tikka 7prc.

But Backfire is another stupid YouTube channel. I wouldn’t take seriously anything he says either.

Yeah they are all usually long infomercials, I noticed all the name dropping and product pushing. ( “ well buy this to fix that “ buy this scope,ect “)
Still I don’t think it’s some sort of conspiracy against the tikka super light
Shaving stuff off to make a cheaper light weight alternative usually doesn’t work, and it seems obvious tikka needs to go back and reevaluate that model
They seem to have a savage axis @ tikka pricing

It's just like the fake news networks......these losers put up a fake, negative, controversial, or fear mongering video/story and you'll get some clicks.

I pretty much hate all YouTube gun guys.

Backfire: looks a like a 12 year old fat kid
Who Tee Who: anyone who uses the term “booh lat” needs to be beaten and has an extra chromosome
JVB: is a total poser with a fake persona and voice
Tate: his awkward nervous laughs and mannerisms like he’s paranoid that Ron will put him back in the Gimp suit if displeased

Etc etc

… all of which just repeat the same ole Guns and Ammo BS talking points over and over…

I don't even know who most of those guys are.

The BF guy seems affable enough, but it's clear that his main goal is to push certain product and, by extension, his reviews should be taken in that context. Not hating on him, as he has figured out a way to get paid for spending his days playing with gear, just making the point that most of us who pay for everything with their own cash generally don't have time to produce videos detailing the process of testing it all.

What did they do on the 7prc in regards to “shaving stuff off” versus their other models?

I’ve never shot their 7prc, but I’m not aware of any change over their other models (other than a different chamber cut obviously).

And I’ve shot loooooots of their other models with no issues.

*big hug* You poor Tikka guys will be ok. Everything is ok. I’ll take you all out for ice cream and your hurt heart will feel better.

The issue is that a super lite rifle is going to be a bear in the more powerful cartridges. It’s going to be harder to shoot well. It’s not that Tikka cheaped out on that particular rifle, it’s that it’s a stupid, niche combination. A Tikka super lite in a lighter cartridge makes a lot more sense.

It's like that around here though, or practically any other forum. When someone posts something that is contradictory to popular opinion, the first thing the masses do is go on attack mode. It's a play right out of the democratic playbook. Bash first, then possibly attempt to actually refute the facts .

Exactly. You don’t get “engagement” without saying controversial things.

If I could monetize the outrage, I would go on Campfire and put up a post about how pre-64 Winchesters suck.

Agree. Super lightweight rifle + higher recoiling rifle.....what could possibly go wrong? It's like highly fragmenting bullets paired with high impact velocities and people wonder why the mess.

Oh I agree on this. I was just commenting that the other user seemed to imply that Tikka took shortcuts or otherwise modified the 7prc.

Big cartridge in a little gun is no fun.

You hit the nail right on the head, light rifles don’t shoot well in heavy caliber
I had to add weight to my 375 ruger to get it to start shooting well

Tikka makes good stuff in light recoiling calibers
But imo stuff starts tweaking and flexing in heavy caliber

You’ll be ok. It seems hard now, but before long you won’t even think of those mean social media influencers. I promise.

You tikka fan boys don’t kick me in the nades, as this was the answer I got on a AI search

problems with tikka t3 rifles



While Tikka T3 rifles are generally highly regarded for their quality and accuracy, some users have reported certain issues:

1. Bolt and action issues

• Some users have experienced issues with bolt binding, particularly with new rifles or specific ammunition brands.
• Others have encountered problems with the bolt handle breaking off due to failure at the dovetail, although this appears to be less common.
• Some experience with the bolt not closing smoothly on a loaded round, potentially indicating chamber or headspace issues.

2. Extraction and ejection problems

• Some users have reported issues with extracting spent cases from the chamber or ejecting them cleanly from the action.
• This can be caused by a variety of factors, including a broken or weak ejector spring, debris in the ejector channel, or an out-of-spec extractor.

3. Magazine feeding issues

• Some users have reported problems with rounds failing to feed from the magazine, which can be caused by tight feed lips, a backwards installed spring, or other manufacturing defects.
• Some have successfully addressed these problems by adjusting the magazine spring or replacing the magazine.

4. Accuracy variations

• While Tikka rifles are renowned for their accuracy, some users have reported variations in group size or difficulty achieving the 1 MOA guarantee.
• Possible causes include rough chamber reaming, tight headspace, or issues with bedding and torque.

5. Scope mounting challenges

• Some users have encountered problems with mounting scopes, specifically with screws not starting or stripping, potentially due to thread issues or debris in the receiver holes.
• Using the correct screw size, cleaning the threads with a tap, or seeking professional assistance can help resolve these issues.

6. Poor customer support

• Some users have reported negative experiences with Beretta USA's customer support regarding warranty claims and repairs.
• They may experience long wait times, difficulty getting issues addressed, or unsatisfactory resolutions.

It's important to note that these problems are not universal to all Tikka T3 rifles, and many users have excellent experiences with their firearms. If you encounter any issues with your Tikka T3, it's recommended to consult the owner's manual, troubleshoot the problem, and contact customer support or a qualified gunsmith if needed.
