Ruger Predator or Tikka T3X in .223

[hylander]

Looking for another Coyote rig.
What do you all think between these two.
I have a Prdeator in 6.5 and love it, shoots under 1.5"
at 300yds.

Tikka. One of the nicest factory rifles made... My T3Xs (.22-250 & .308) both do under 1" @100 with cheap ammo, the .22-250 will do under 1/2" if the operator & the wind is right.

Tikka!! You will be forever pleased!

Tikka, no question about it!

I have the Predator and put a muzzle brake on it. Shoots much better than I can shoot it. Nice hunting rig.

Another vote for Tikka. I've owned 7 of them. They have a smooth action, nice trigger, and they all shoot great right of the box.

Very happy with my Tikka. Great gun!

I vote for the Tikka too, the X is nice and swapping the grip for the more vertical one makes a dif.

Tikka all the way

I have had both in .243, I sold the Ruger, still have the Tikka

 

[rgvt4]

Tikka for me

 

[hylander]

Wow, all Tikka votes.
I will look closer at the Tikkas.
I really like my 6.5 Predator, it shoots under 1.5" at 300yds.

 

[Roscoehd]

my .243 shot great in (ruger) but when I was @ the range and got up over 4 or 5 shots it fell apart, my Tikka does not do that, it will shoot a 15 round group and hold tight groups.

Tikka. I’m selling my predator. The mag is a terrible design and it gets jammed up all the time, feeds like crap, can’t stand that when it’s messing with my chances at a double. Accurate as [beeep] and I’m sure the AICS now helps but Tikka is still a huge level up

 

[Iowayote92]

Tikka, not too many factory bolt guns allow you to open the bolt and have it slide back without any vertices play. So smooth.

How is the accuracy with the Tikka Super light in .223 ?

They have a 1 moa 3 shot guarantee and should do that with most factory ammo.
I traded a shotgun for a .22-250 Superlite and posted the pics of the first few shots. Tikka's tend to tighten up a bit after 100 rounds.

Tikka in any weight. You won't regret it.

Tikka; Nothing else compares in that price range.

 

[Coyotejunki]

yea I am a Tikka fan also. My 22-250 is one of my favorite coyote rifles.
