Default RE: Browning, Tikka or Sako in .338 Win Mag??

As Terry eluded to the T3 Tikka would not be on my short list, IMO to light for the likes of 338wm. In fact a guy I know just traded his 300wm T3 off on sako 75 in the same 300wm on the account of the boot he received on the bench. I had the opportunity to shoot that rifle last year as well as a couple 300wsm in the same flavor they were not terrible butyou knew they were theirand the muzzle jump was plenty off the bags.

Of the list without hesitation the Sako. I have owned a couple browning abolts including the SS Stalker and it just isn't my favorite rifle to shoot. Reason cheap stock, not great SS finish IME for the asking price.A couple of personal fo's -fit isn't perfect for me so I feel the recoil with abolt stalker more then others, mag system (DM and hinged floor plate-just silly...why???),tang safety and bolt take down is fairly complex! That said they all have shot good out of the box and served the purpose.
