Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Tikka T3x Lite vs. Remington Model Seven Stainless Steel HS Precision

I want a short, light rifle in 7mm 08, or 6.5 Creedmore or, possibly .270.

Prefer the weight be under 7 lbs and barrel length 22", maximum.

Will be used primarily as a Midwest, whitetail gun but may on rare occasion be used for pronghorn or elk.

I don't reload so, from what I've read the 6.5 Creedmore is the nuts if you're going to be using factory ammo.

I'll probably go with a synthetic stock and stainless.

So, the two rifles on my short list are the Tikka T3x Lite and the Remington Model Seven Stainless Steel HS Precision.

Which would you choose, and why?

Is there a comparable rifle under $1000 that I'm overlooking?

Thanks.
