Poor Customer Service Baretta Tikka T3X

[Barrelnut]

Every tikka I've owned has needed a lighter bullet to shoot well. Most twists are too slow for heavier bullets. My 243 shot 87 grain in tiny holes, but 100 grain and higher were 2" group. Same experience with 300 wsm. Try a lighter bullet

Another +1 for this.

Mine went on gun broker after the rep insisted I pronounce sako "socko". I can say savage, ruger, winchester, remington just perfect.

Uh...that's how it's pronounced, so...

Imagine how a guy that speaks a different language, say Finnish would say ruger

I've owned several Tikka's and still own several. I have had problems with one of them were the stock was rubbing the barrel. It was a 300 WSM and was shooting a 2" group. Pulled the action out of the stock and got my channel cutter out and in 2 minutes free floated barrel. Shot a 3/4" group after that. Almost all guns need tuning up in some way. Tightening mounts, checking action bolts, tuning triggers, glass bedding. I have had very few problems with the Tikka and the tikka line is their cheap production line not their high end line. For the price they are hard to beat.

Tikkas are actually SUCKOs. SAKO is an acronym so there is actually no specific requirements for pronunciation, but people find ways to elevate themselves above others.

Interesting. Hadn't heard it was an acronym. The "socko" pronunciation is fairly standard in other world languages. English is just weird.

Everyone I know calls them say-koes. Guess I'll let them know. I had no idea

The "Ase" in SAKO is pronounced with a long "A"...so, nice try (insert "thumbs-up" emoji here)

You can pronounce it either way, but the correct way is with a long "A". Any and all reps I've spoken with personally, or heard speaking with others, has used a long "A"

Anyone else have a bad experience with Baretta? I bought a T3X in 270 WSM for my son. It wouldn't shoot under 2.5 inch groups after trying factory (150 Gr ABLR) and reloads with 150 ABLR & 130 gr Swift Scirocco (w/4350 or RL19). I sent to Baretta with all the targets and a detailed letter summarizing I got same results with Warne Rings & Tally Rings each with a different brand new Leupold scope. My letter also pointed out how the barrel has marks where it's not free floating and touching nubs from the forward part of the stock. They sent it right back with a form letter stating it's my problem. Their form letter attempts to show it shot a .5 inch three shot group (but their own form shows the results were for a 300WSM NOT a 270WSM! What a joke. I've already spent a great deal of money in components and have no confidence in this rifle. Any recommendations?

Same problem here,22-250 ,three shot group,1",4th and 5th grew to 1,5",never got a live person,sent it back twice.They returned it back twice with a three shot,3/4" group.Exact same target came back. Falcon,this is what I did :had it recrowned,Tubb finishing bullets,all forty ,relieved the forearm.1/2" now
