Love my Tikka T3 lite in .300wsm.   shoots swings and handles way nice. Light and very durible. VERY. Dont get me wrong i love my browning too, looks incredible in my custom built lighted gun case

Lots of people like their tikkas I just hate the way they feel.

I have tikka and a x bolt    Tikka cheap made shoots good, x bolt nicer finish shoots just as good

Unless the T3 has improved the mag feed over the Whitetail they used to make, I'd go X-bolt.  The X-bolt mag feeds rounds flawlessly, I've not had a problem with a nose-diving last round in the X-bolt.  Cannot say the same for the Tikka Whitetail I sold or the Remington with detatchable mag...

I know more than a few guys that shoot Tikkas. You're the first I've heard of with a feed problem. I think I've had mine 4 years now. Its smooth as can be.

  That sums it up pretty well.

Yeah, same here. Both of the Tikka's I've had/have feed flawlessly, buttery smooth.

you can get the tikka + a nice scope for the price of the browning. I have had both the tikka trigger is much better.

I'm in the same boat, doing the same research and all I can say is:

"Buy them both!"

[Brownie28]

never handled an X bolt but the tikkka i owned was silky smooth action and super accurate. i liked it because it was light weight and with the snthetic stock i didnt have to worry about ruining a wood stock. My only complaint was that if anything bumped into the stock im made that loud hollw sound.

t3 no frills just a great go to gun that you wont be afraid to use . I was really surprissed how well mine shoots in 300wsm and the recoil is quiet managible.

Tikka= most accurate out of box hunting gun on the market.
