RE: tikka t3 or whitetail hunter?
I have the 695 in 30-06 and the T3 in .243. The T3 fits me better. The 695 is heavy and overall it just feels like a bigger gun. The 695 does however seem to be of higher quality. Fact is though, I'd take another T3 in a different caliber but wouldn't take another 695. Both are synthetic SS.
