Looking at both of these rifles for beginner. I already had a buddy of mine tell me he would buy it off me if not satisfied. The only difference is stainless barrel is 150.00 more, everything else is the same. Is it worth it?
I did all the comparisons of this model and I am open to suggestions on other Tikkas, feel free to IM me. I was told by surgeon he has a Nightforce SHV 5-20x56 ideas on that or wrong forum? (Edited to shorten) Thanks, Mike |

My experience with Tikka has been excellent. The only downside is that they use proprietary mags but this isn't that big of a deal.

Thanks, not that I'm a tight ass, but I just retired and could use money on mag if SS wasn't a big deal. I would not get SS unless I were to re-barrel it. |

I have a stainless now. The receiver had some oxidation starting around where the stock meets it so I had it painted.
For a weather indifferent rifle get the standard one and have it painted. |

I didn't mention earlier I have the T3X, not sure if the finish ever changed.
I have an older T3 Varmint in 223 that has a blued barrel(The T3X CTR definitely seems to have a better finish) but haven't had it out lately. |

I don't like stainless guns (personal preference) so I went with the blued version and def wouldn't have spent $150.00 more on that feature.
Couldn't be happier, the gun is boringly accurate. Its easily a half minute gun with factory ammo and much more accurate than I am. Honestly, you can't really go wrong and I'm sure you'll like either one.

BigJimmyRustler,
How do you like the KRG Bravo chassis? Was it a PITA to install the Tikka action? Thanks |

Thanks It has a ton of features usually reserved for Chassis much more expensive and I definitely saw a noticeable increase in accuracy over the OEM stock for a couple of possible reasons (Aluminum backbone, ergonomic improvement, etc) |
