last month i tradedin mybrowning a-bolt 308for a tikka t3 lite stainless 308 probly on the best decisons i ever made when it comes to rifles,i went for shooting 2 inch groups with me browningto about half inch groups with my tikka mine likes varget powder if u reload,it also has a detachable magazine witch in my opion is alot better then bullets rattling around in your pocket like some other bolt actions.I have had remingtons,brownings,winchesters and rugers now i have a tikka... buy one u will not go wrong!!!
