Browning X Bolt vs Tikka T3 Lite

[eaglesnester]

xbolt gets the nod from me as well. Nothing wrong with the tika accurate and a good light rifle.

hmmm HATE Browning..had 2 and both were loose pigs..second needed considerable aftermarket help to render it into a gem.and $$$....

Shoulda bought an X-Bolt.

I have 2 Tikkas and they are both great shooters. Personally the "feel & fit" of the Browning wasn't right for me. The Tikka is very comfortable.

As several others have pointed out get a stainless model. It really is a must on the coast and worth the little extra.


Good Luck

I concur s/s will be a very good call. Holding pattern for a moment as I want to feel the Ruger "hawkeye". As for cal. I thought i had it figured out. I now have the 308 and the 30 06 on the table. This is harder than buying a fly rod, must just be me.

Why not the sako A7 stainless! New ones have soft touch. Guarantee 5 shot moa. $1199 with scope and mount at Cabelas.ca. 7mm-08

Why not the sako A7 stainless! ???? Don't know. Never touched one before. The choices are endless i guess.

Will have a look and feel if one is in town.

Thks for the tip...............
