Simple, buy all 3 to keep the family happy. One for her, 2 for you............
As a red blooded American that has fielded a Rem700 for the last 12 years ( Good Man!). You have a responsibility, no! A duty as I do to continue to field Remington's and not sell out to the Tikka trinket crap! TIKKA'S SUCK!!!! Bi-Mart is currently selling the Remington 700 SPS synthetics in stainless in any flavor of factory chambering that fits your fancy for 489.00. That is their scope rifle package, I have purchased 4 over the last couple years. 2 in the stainless(.300 Win, .243 Win) & 2 in the matte blue(.300 Ultra, 7mm Magnum) All have shot well with handloads. You can always upgrade the stock later.You can't go wrong with a Remington 700. Tikka's started out at 400.00 bucks, now that thing is going to run you 700.00 plus out the door for a stainless. I would rather throw the cash down for a Sako Finnlite or A7 way before I would take it in the shorts for a Tikka. Hahaha! I have this picture in my head of a yellow Pruis, the driver with a pocket full of Barnes crap and a Tikka riding shotgun. Ah hahaha!

While there is more aftermarket support for the Remington ,for strictly a hunting rifle, the T-3 would be less of a gamble. Remington's are hit and miss. With the T-3 you get an accurate rifle, removable mag, and a very easily adjustable trigger. There are aftermarket rails available for the T-3 also.
Well so far the score in this thread is: Remington- 10 Tikka-11
