RE: Tikka t3 vs. browning abolt hunter.
From a layman's perspective..........I just went through this between the same 2 guns !!
The A-bolt looks and feels like a more quality gun IMO !!
The Tikka has a smoother action.........lighter trigger from the factory.........and a huge internet following...........great reputation for accuracy !! I found nothing negative about the tikka's posted from actual owners ........found very little negative's on the A-bolts !!
I would have taken either really............but when I went to get mine.........the A-bolt was $599 in all black and the Tikka Stainless was $499 !! So I went with the Tikka and it is a great rifle for the price so far !!
