i have used a couple of tikka T3s and a couple of the FN model 70 featherweights...
the 30-06 and .243 that i've used in the fn M70 give nothing away in accuracy towards any production rifle...

unlike many here, i do like the T3 for what it is. but i do prefer the model 70s for most of my uses...

i would list my priorities as to what i wanted in a rifle, and assume that any will give me sufficient field accuracy, for any hunting... pick out the rifle that you really like, and run with it...
when you're field dressing deer, the difference between a .5 & 1.5 moa rifle fades with the onset of reality...

as to the cartridges you listed, the .260 rem makes sense to me... but i'd pick the rifle first, and the cartridge accordingly...
