Longshot3: I sure like my Tikka T-3 in 338 Federal. It shoots great and I even kind of like the detachable magazines.
I have had it about 3 years now.
I have NOT brought any game to bag with it as yet but it always goes along on Spring Bear Hunts and dark timber Elk ventures.
Recoil is mild and the trigger is great.
I have a Zeiss 3x9 variable on it.
It is pleasant to pack up the gated logging roads when Spring Bear Hunting!
Best of luck with whichever you choose.
Hold into the wind
