Stubby, no doubt the T3 is a quality gun, and the action works fine! That is one way Tikka keeps the cost down, one action size!
To me, I just don't like the idea of a sports car on a longbed truck frame!
I admit, I'm partial to Winnies, but thats just because they are darn good guns! Not that the T3 isn't!
One other note on the DBM issue, if ya don't know yer gun in the dark, ya ain't slept with her long enough!!!!
