verhoositzI shoot a Tikka WTHunter Std grade wood/blue in 270 and have for the last 3 years. It shoots anything I stuff down the tube from WallyWorld Winchester PSP's to Federal Premium under an inch even with my high BP making the crosshairs dance. A buddy's new WTHunter 30/06 Deluxe put his first 5 rounds in 3/4's of an inch with Fed Prem 165gr GameKings, and another hunter on my West Texas deerlease sez his 30/06 WTHunter is about the same in Fed Prem NP's. I personally don't care for the T3's feel or the magazine release but have never shot one. I just bought another WTHunter in 300WMg in blue/synthetic and will sell off my other rifles as I find WTHunters to buy. I think that Tikka WTHunters are really a "Poor Man's SAKO". Dunno anything about the ABolts except my nephews 30/06 won't shoot straight... but I'm not sure he can either.
