Default RE: Tikka T3 or Remington 700 CDL

Here's a review of each of the rifles. CDL I'm sure is a pretty well made rifle a pretty good/not fantastic accuracy results reported by this writer. I don't like the 7 lbs. trigger pull pressure he says it's set at from the factory. If it's not adjustable, that's a problem.

Tikka T3 is a heck of a rifle for the money and very accurate. (tested for groups of sub 1" at 100 yds at the factory before each rifle is shipped. Floating, cold hammered barrel of the more expensive Sako (same company). Adjustable trigger that comes from factory at around 3 lbs.. Resessed end of barrel. Palm swell. Nicely balanced. Solid rings come with the rifles and mounting system will not allow your scope to move. Very smooth action. I just saw an add in a Sporting Goods chain that they have some wood stock and blued barrel T3s on sale for $559 after the season. How can you beat that?
