Tikka T3x Lite accuracy?

[MoAli31]

I am curious on what kinds of grouping have yall been getting out of the factory tikka t3x lite??. I want to start a new build using the CTR but cannot find any retailer with the 20 inch barrel in stock. I did find several retailers that have the Lite in stock. Are there differences in barrels between the CTR and the Lite?

Thanks

Mike

Accuracy wise? No.
Being able to shoot longer strings? Yes. Ctr is better.
Are either of them the fastest? No. They tend to be on the slower side. I don't know why that is.

There is another difference. The lite is limited to like 3 or 4 rounds depending on caliber. Ctr comes with a 10 round mag and 5 rounders are available.

The good news is that tikkas are consistent enough that shouldered prefits are available from a couple of places.

Also the lite is a little small for threads that you have to spend money to get it threaded.
