I have 2 Tikka T-3's in 300 WSM (son and I). I've taken several elk with my 300 WSM T-3 and will likely continue to use this combination throughout my remaining years on elk.
I also have a 25-06 in a T-3 and feel the same way as you do about it. Many blacktail bucks have fallen to this particular T-3.
Tikka's are reliable, inexpensive, most shoot exceptionally well right of the box and are lightweight, to boot.
Tough to find much fault with success and good experiences, so I'm feelin' very comfortable in regards to rifle and cartridge choices these last several years. That's saying a lot 'cuz after 40 years of buying, selling and using most firearms out there as most other 'loonies' here have, settling down with any one particular make or model firearm isn't easy to do.
For me, Tikka made that choice so much easier.
YMMV
