Love my T3x 6.5 SL, but I feel the 24” is unnecessary.
22” fluted would be better. Not sure I’m gaining all that much and it would be easier to handle and even lighter . Just my 2 cents.

Kimber hunter is also around the same price point.
I have both in 6.5. The kimber had to go back To the shop to get the chamber repolished and kimber doesn’t want reloads. Only factory premium ammo.

For me Tikka all day long.

I’d also be looking at the sauer 100. Maybe not as lite as tikka, but feels more solid and has 5 mag flush mag vs 3.


All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
