Ive just had my 2nd knee surgery & the other knee aint that great either @ 53 years old. Ive lost 30 lbs. this year & the backpack hunting gear I have is top notch & I cant get much lighter there. Thinking of selling my t3 lite in .270 win. & buying the kimber hunter in .270. I love my tikka but am always thinking of restocking it to get a few oz lighter. Pretty sure I could sell the tikka ss t3 for 600, & the kimber is 775. With my scope & rings the tikka is 7 lbs. The hunter would be 6 lbs & 7 oz all up. That's assuming the kimber .270 is @ 5lbs. & 10oz. I started to say the difference in weight is very noticeable to me, but Ive only handled my 7lb. tikka rig compared to the naked hunter. Don't really have a desire to shoot another caliber but I am open to other opinions, & I do reload. Any & all opinions welcome & hoping Mr. Price & Luke Moffett will chime in.(I know you hate the .270 Luke) So fire away yall!
