Found someone looking to sell a mint rifle

It's left handed

How much are they looking for?

First he was asking $600 now he's down to $500

 

I was also thinking about the T3 lite .243

but thought the 270 had just a bit more knock down

Says he has two and needs to sell this one to purchase a rifle for a RH shooter. Brand new they are over $800 right??

I've seen them in LH in 308 as low as $700.  Seems like a good deal to me.

I paid $700 for my LH Tikka T3 Lite .270 Win when I bought it new. If it's actually in mint condition, $500 is a steal.

 

My two cents.

Keep in mind, I believe .270 WSM ammo is noticeably more expensive than .270 Win. I could be wrong, but I remember seeing that "buyer beware" warning all over the place when I was looking to buy this rifle a couple years ago.

 

But as I said, $500 for that gun in basically new condition AND left handed is such a good deal that it would make up for the additional ammo cost.

Luke what you post is pretty much what I was looking for. We texted last night and he said he bought it used from Cabella's not long ago and paid $600. Said he was looking to sell it because he has another one and now needs the cash to purchase a rifle for his son that's a righty.

I'm on the fence because with ammo prices the way they are I don't want to be spending a $1 per rnd

Thanks

That's a nice rifle and a good price, only .270 WSM is more like $1.50/round, and that's for run of the mill loads. Premium ammo could cost you more if you want to shoot something like Berger's or Accubond's. For the common whitetail or black bear, you won't need them. It's definitely a round you'd want to handload for if you were to shoot a lot.

 

Good luck with it if you get it!

I just exchanged a couple more texts with him and he stated the ACCUBONDS ran the best

All this being said I'm NOT a big hunter I was just looking for something with stopping power at a longer range.

 

Here's what he wrote:

 

I've shot maybe 30 rounds threw it till I found what it likes the best. Shot all but one type of ammo over 1". Federal accubonds. Can't shoot ballistic tips for deer they explode with this caliber. Too fast!Accubonds kill even with bad hits. Anyway. This thing is just not being used because of the other one. $500 is fair it's tough to find this caliber in lefthhanded unless you want stainless in silver.($700) I actually paid 600 for this because I couldn't find one. Any questions let me know.
