For a rifle that some find having so many faults I find it interesting that the Canadian Rangers chose the T-3 to replace their 70 year old SMLE's. For those not familiar with the Canadian Rangers they are generally First Nations people or other rural dwellers and are affiliated with the Canadian Armed Forces. They specified a rifle for reliability and to stand up to extreme outdoor conditions and after testing have chosen the T-3.

Google Canadian Rangers Tikka T-3 for more info.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
