I’ve been looking for a general-purpose rifle for North American big-game hunting, and I’d heard good things about the T3, so I traded into a Lite Stainless 308 in a pawnshop a couple of weeks ago. I don’t have a pic of the rifle, but it’s bone stock except for a 1913 rail and a scope. I haven’t even adjusted the trigger. It shoots most factory hunting loads into 1 MOA, which is probably no big deal for most folks here, but the consistency surprised me after 30-odd years of wrangling other makes and models.
On the second day I owned it, it did this with a cheapo Zeiss Terra 3x 3-9x42:
Four days later, it did this with a Leupold VX2 4-14x50:
So, umm, yeah, it seems to shoot Hornady American Gunner pretty well, and it’s an understatement to say that I’m delighted. This rifle has changed my ideas about hunting rifles much as the G19 changed my ideas about handguns. It’s essentially the G19 of long guns except that it shoots like a Clark 1911. Now I’m here to learn how to shoot like this more consistently.
I’m looking forward to learning more from you guys, and I thank you in advance for enduring my bonehead questions.
