They offer a guarantee of MOA groups at 100 yds right out of the box..... And the MSRP starts at $525.
Don't know anyone who has one, but that guarantee (and price) is pretty strong.

I bought one last year in 7mag and absolutely love it...
Light weight, very smooth action and good trigger from
the factory...Mine likes heavier bullets (150-160) over
lighter ones...Has a 9.5 to 1 twist....Mine would shoot
140gr bullets about 1" or slightly bigger and 150gr a bit
smaller...I handload 160gr HPs and can get them 1" and
under when I really try....Only have about 150 rounds
thru it so far, and I don't think the barrel is really broken in
yet....
With more effort handloading, lighter trigger pull, and a better
scope, I believe I can improve accuracy a bit more, but it is
more than adequate as it is now...I have a good hunting load,
and it will knock the snot out of a deer....VERY short tracking
trails...
I special ordered it from Wal-Mart...Took about 1 week,
and about $425.00 out the door.....Find a Wally World that
still has guns, and see if you can order yourself one....
I gurantee you will not be sorry....

My wife bought a T3 Lite 7mm-08 for herself & decided it did not fit right & gave it to me.
150gr Remy's are okay about 2" @ 100yrds, 139gr Hornady Light Magnum about 1.75" @ 100 yrds I haven't tried much else with it as I already have a Wetherby Vanguard 7mm-08 & a Marlin .44Mag short barrel lever gun.
Sweet, smooth action & trigger. FWIW you can adjust the trigger pull w/ the supplied allen wrench.

I have the T3 in .270. Best gun in my safe as far as cartridge guns I own. And I have a few. Just don't use it, I prefer to hunt with my Omega.
They don't shoot worth a #%@*................

Great group Badger....Do you handload ???
What Caliber.....
I am not quite to that level with my 7mag so far, but just under
an inch off a good rest...Using a lead sled now, but it just does
not have the overall adjustability to really fine tune your aiming
point very easily...

I do handload. That group was with Barnes 130 grn TSX's. 270 Win. Who says a hunting bullet can't be accurate?
I use Re-19 with CCI primers.

Sakos do have good barrells...Main reason I bought one...
Had a buddy at our club for a few years with a Hunter 75 in
270 Winchester with 140gr handloaded stuff, and that darn thing
would shoot the same hole at 100yds....Most accurate rifle I have
ever seen.....

I tried 140 and 150 grs when I bought mine, just to get an idea
of how it would shot with factory ammo, and to get it sighted in...
2 boxes of each...
I handload and wanted to use a 160gr hollow point, so I worked
up a load using a Sierra HPBT bullet....
Good Luck...

Shot one some 30 years ago
They carried the Ithaca name. What a group the owner & I both shot with 180gr RN, 30-06.
He wanted to sell it when he found the real manufacturer, was foreign and carried the name Tikka.
I came that close to getting that rifle at a great price.
Sanity ruled with the groups he got. His father was a non-hunting WWII European vet.
