Have the .270 win T3 Super Light (has a fluted barrel, and different stock, weighs less than six pounds)stainless with camo stock and a sworvoski z3 scope, absolutely love it, adjusted the trigger to 2 1/2 pounds, and a friend of mine worked up a custom load, It is shooting a 3/4" group at 200 yards (on a lead sled)it is unbelievable.

The guy that worked up my loads, who used to "accurize" rifles for a living, was pushing me to get a Rem 700, but after he dialed in the T3 he said he has never seen a gun shoot that good out the box and his next rifle would be a T3

I have a Browning A bolt that I have shot for years, and it is no comparison that the T 3 is much better

the only things I do not like about it is the safety and the magazine sticks out of the bottom just a little, I prefer the brownings detachable magazine with the floor plate

I love the tikka safety

I don't like the plastic clipazine, but that's partly why it's so cheap. They built a very good barrel, action, and trigger and cut corners everywhere they could on non-crucial stuff. Doesn't bother me. You're getting a bottom end sako for $600.

T3 30-06 with a Leupold VXII scope or something like that. Its a killing machine, when it shoots, deer drops. I shot an apple from 642 yards in 13 mph winds.
