One thing to look at is the new checkering pattern on the wood and synthetic stocked models. I have a synthetic stocked T3 SS Lite and a new T3x Hunter with a wood stock. I don’t know if they changed the profile of the pistol grip that much, to me it seems like they did, but I much prefer the new checkering pattern on the T3x, it feels more secure and “grabby’. The feel of the new stock alone was what made me choose a T3x even with the great closeout deals on the T3. I don’t know how important that is to you but it might be worth your while to compare the two if you have a chance.
Most folks are charging in the $800’s for the new models but more than one on line dealer is charging in the lower $700’s so it pays to look around.
