I've had quite a few T3 Lites over the years and there is no other consistent out of the box "shooter". No tweaking, bedding, filing, re-crowning, lapping barrels, sanding feed rails, buffing feed ramps, checking for proper screw length, candle/incense lighting needed. Many shun the "perceived" necessities of CRF, Model 70 "old style" triggers with no composite parts. There is a place for that too. But a Tikka T3X puts your average shooter well down the road to an accurate moderately light rifle.
I guess Sako/Tikka marches to a different "drummer" - which may be the result of pride in craftsmanship.
