The.270 Winchester has been taking deer and elk for generations, and this Tikka T3x Lite Veil Alpine puts it in a left-handed bolt action. The Veil Alpine camo pattern is meant for mountain country, which suits hunters heading west or into the high ridges of western North Carolina.

Left-handed buyers rarely find a lot of choices in the rack, and Tikka makes it easy with a proper left-hand bolt and stock. The Lite platform is trim and carries well. The listed price near two thousand dollars reflects the premium camo finish and the quality of the build.

The.270 shoots flat and carries energy, so it handles long shots on mule deer, whitetail and even elk with good bullets. Recoil is moderate. Ammunition is easy to find, with plenty of loads to choose from. Think about where it will live and how you will store it safely at home.

Add a quality optic and sling, and sight in at one hundred yards. A camo finish also helps reduce glare in the field. This rifle is new. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer for the background check and transfer.
