Tikka ,Bergara or Howa mini 350 legend

[Roostergun985]

I’m looking to purchase a 350 legend. Which rifle would you buy?

I have a Ruger American Ranch first generation and I can’t say that I have any regrets. It was not expensive, it’s accurate, and it feeds fine. The Tikka T3X was not available in 350L when I made my purchase. If it had been, I might have gone that route.

I have a never fired Howa mini 350L takeoff barrel if you’re interested.

Tikka. You can get one for $529-$75 rebate from EuroOptic.

Out of those three, the Tikka. I bought the Winchester XPR compact with 20" barrel. I hate short barrels on rifles, 20" is about as short as I want one. It shoots every factory load I've tried into around an inch or less. Two Hornady, two Winchester, two Bear creek.

Tikka would be my first choice. It wasn't available when I bought mine...a Ruger AR-556.

Which has a magazine system you prefer?

Buy a 223 tikka and a take off barrel. I got one for $65 in the classifieds.

I was shooting a Howa mini with the 16.25" heavy barrel in a Stocky's lightweight stock and JO's detachable bottom metal (howa mags). It was decent accuracy and a joy to carry. Without a can I notice the blast from the short barrel. Balance is "ok".

I picked up a stainless T3X SL with 20" barrel from Sportsman's a while back and put it in a Stocky's lightweight sporter. It is very accurate with Hornady 170's running 2300 fps. I don't have a can that will work for anything over 30's. The extra 4" of barrel really made a difference in blast...very noticeable. Feeding is excellent in factory t3X and 3D printed extended OAL mags (made for .223). Stainless is a plus for me as it seems to rain as much as it's not here. It's 6 lbs 8 oz after moving to Hawkins featherweight rings with a 1.5-6x42 S&B Klassic. It points like a wand and recoil is minimal.

If you're planning on suppressing, go with the mini. If not, the 20" SL available from Sportsman's is very, very nice in a light stock (I didn't shoot it in the factory stock). I don't have to use a straight wall cartridge, I can use whatever. I like the overall package so well that I'll be using it a lot when hunting wooded areas this year.

I just got my Tikka .350 Legend Ranahan in from Euro Optic. They're running some great deals right now. Fit and finish on the Tikka is superb (My first Tikka). Also coming off of a winchester xpr.... Haven't shot it yet but im hoping it will be a tack driver based on their reputation!

CVA Scout. More than reliable and accurate enough for the sort of shooting one will do with that cartridge.

I just also received my tikka ranahan from europtic !! I havnt shot it yet but it is nice. I mounted a Trijicon accupoint on it.

Yeah it’s a sweet rifle. I swapped the grip out for a Tikka Vertical Grip (little on the fat side but the hand position is much better).

Gonna run a VX Freedom 3-9x40 CDS

Also you have to slide the front sight off to get to a screw underneath if you want to remove it completely.

Since 350 Legend is not a LR or precision cartridge. Any particular reason why those 3 are all you are looking at? Seems like there are ALOT of companies that make something that will do no more and no less than those 3.
