I own the tikka t3 stainless lite in 3006. I also have the blued version of an EW that Winchester sold as the extreme sporter in 300 wsm. Very different guns, hard to compare, both well built. The tikka is push feed, no bedding, independent recoil flange......Winchester has a full alum bedded B&C stock, control round feed.....l like them both. By the way, I also have a ruger Hawkeye 3006 and have compared the grip of the CRF to that of the winchester....the winny is much, much stronger, at least in my case.
