I agree with everything said above but I disagree on the statement that the EW stock has never changed, the newer grey spiderweb stocks on the EW is most certainly a slimmer stock especially through the pistol grip area and a little lighter weight to boot....between these two I would buy an EW as I like the build quality and CRF but if cost is a factor in your decision I would pick the T3x, My guess is the Tikka might also edge out the EW in the accuracy dept....Good luck...Hb
