I have the Tikka T3x in 223 but with the 1:8 twist barrel, by far the most accurate 223 i have owned, especially with the sporter weight barrel. Mine shot better each time i went to the range.

I also have another t3 lite also chambered in .223 with the 1:8 twist barrel. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it will shoot 50gr up to 75gr accurately and you are correct with the tikka barrels taking a little longer to break in.

Both guns are chambered in .204 ruger and i will get a pic here shortly. And after doing a little research, neither i nor the gentleman selling the tikka knew anything. The rifle i purchased is just the regular stainless varmint model not the super varmint

I have an x-bolt and it shoots lights out at the saami length with benchmark and 32 gr v-maxes. I have tried to reach the lands but too no avail and since it shoots so good at that length, why bother. Should also say that this load works great in remington, winchester, and gfi aka fiocchi brass and ...
