I've owned and shot, Tikka Model 65,(30-06) 595,(25.06, 6.5x55) 695,(7 Rem Mag ) and T3's.
All shot well, none were fussy about what they were fed. The older ones were all blued wood and all were slick, smooth and heavy. The weight was the number one reason I no longer own these.
The T3s were a mix of stainless and blued, wood, laminate and synthetic considerably lighter in weight then the older models . 222 Rem, 6.5x55, 338 Federal,.308 Win, .270 and .300 WSM.
Some how the T3s just don't appeal to me, no pizzaz, no soul. So I no longer own any.
The ones that went to friends and family are well used, every fall.
