I love my T3 Lite in 30-06. It is a tackdriver. For $489, including a $175 scope and a $150 rebate that I used for 3 magazines, it is by far the best deal that I have ever had in a firearm.

It always feeds flawlessly. The trigger is light and breaks like an icicle. The stock recoil pad works fine with 30-06.
Magnum recoil is always going to be stout in a light rifle.

It is a modern hunting tool. No, it is not as interesting to look at as my Model 70's and Mausers, but I would much rather take it on a long hike.
