The Tikka T3x Rifle is made by Sako of Finland. It is a durable hunting rifle with choice blue or stainless steel and is built with a cold hammer-forged barrel that is free-floated to deliver unmatched accuracy and precision. The stock is designed to reduce the noise created when firing the rifle for added concealment while hunting. The steel recoil lug smoothly transfers recoil to the stock to reduce muzzle jump, while a contoured recoil pad absorbs recoil to deliver more comfortable shooting. For smoother ejection and cycling, this hunting rifle features a widened ejection port and metallic bolt shroud.
Caliber 243 WIN Ammo capacity 3 + 1, 22.4 in. barrel, 42.6 in. overall length, weighs 6.5 lbs., 1:10 twist barrel.
The .243 Winchester (6.2×52mm) is a popular sporting rifle cartridge. Developed as a versatile short action cartridge to hunt both deer size game and varmints. It was introduced in 1955, and remains one of the most popular whitetail deer cartridges. It is also commonly used for harvesting pronghorns and mule deer with heavier loads, and is equally suited to varmint hunting with lighter rounds. The .243 is based on a necked down .308 Winchester, introduced only three years earlier. Bbullets of approximately 95-100 grains with controlled expansion designs are best suited for hunting medium game, while lighter rounds 55-75 grains are intended for varmints.
Gun Digest estimates that (as of the end of 2018) the .243 Winchester is the second-most popular of all hunting rifle chamberings.
The Sig Whiskey3 3x9 rifle scope in Talley Mounts was used for all the testing. These were the first shots out of the rifle for me. The rifle was pre-owned and had a Kirstern adjustable cheek riser installed. The adjustable stock will be needed when I use my Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50 with American Defense Mount. Our plan is to make the Tikka a day or night coyote hunting rifle using the factory stock. We have also installed an ARCA plate on the bottom of the stock for easy attachment to my hunting tripod use during coyote hunts at night.

Coyote hunting is about the only method of controlling the spread of coyotes and their numbers far exceed the number taken by hunters. Trapping coyotes does not work well at all as they are usually too smart to be taken with traps.
Science has shown that coyotes take a heavy toll on whitetail fawns. At least one study found that coyotes can eat as many as 75 percent of the fawns born in a single spring and deer populations are declining in some parts of the country, possibly as a result of an increase in coyote numbers.
The coyote is listed as least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, due to its wide distribution and abundance throughout North America. Coyote populations are also abundant southwards through Mexico and into Central America. The species is versatile, able to adapt to and expand into environments modified by humans. It is enlarging its range by moving into urban areas in the eastern U.S. and Canada. The coyote was sighted in eastern Panama (across the Panama Canal from their home range) for the first time in 2013.
