I'm not an expert, but the 595 is a short action and 695 is a long action. The 595/695 series are heavier rifles than the T3 series. The 695 I have has steel magazines, while my 595 has plastic similar to the T3. The ejection ports are more open on the older rifles. They have the same smooth bolt throw and crisp triggers.
