It is with much regret that I have to offer this for sale, but a recent change in circumstances have forced it.

So here we have my Tikka T3 Varmint the details are as follows.

.260 Remington Tikka T3 Varmint barrel with a blued finish threaded 5/8 unf

GRS sporter varmint stock.

AICS mag conversion with 10 rd mag.

20 MOA scope rail.

Deben tilt swivel bipod.

Roedale precision muzzle brake, a slotted brake will also be supplied.

Weaver Tactical rings.

Leupold Mk4 8.5-25 illuminated scope M1 turrets and Alumina caps.



During the time I have owned it I have fired approx. 300 rds, the previous owner I'm told had fired less than 50.

There will be some loaded ammunition included for a face to face sale and I will supply load data that I have.

The rifle is in fantastic condition and the scope is near mint, I will be sorry to see it go as it is a very accurate rifle and has the potential to be tweaked some more.

I am looking for in the region of £2250 for the complete package, or £1550 without the scope.

I will not let the scope go if the rifle isn't already sold.

This is a cracking set up. if you were looking to order a T3 from Tikka in this calibre then you would be looking at approx an 8 month lead time.

I am willing to consider sensible offers.

This is just what I was looking for about 2 years ago!
If only I had a spare slot and could wangle another 260...........

I have a .260 slot, and I am on the lookout for one, after I narrowly missed a s/h tikka t3 recently. Unfortunately, I'm after a standard T3 as I want to put it in a chassis system instead, which would seem to be a shame to do that to this rifle.. bit out of my price range at the moment too.

Good luck with the sale though, lovely looking rifle :)

I have just checked, the barrel length is 510 mm, unfortunately I have no scales to weigh the rifle but I can estimate by the sum of the main components to be around 5kg
