RE: Tikka vs. Kimber
You're asking about the Tikka T3 .300 WM. I've got one, along with a .30-06. Both are fine shooters. The .300 WM will buck a bit, as with any mfg. of that mag caliber on the bench sighting in. But hunting I don't notice it. I've taken my last 3 Elk with the .300 WM T3. Last fall at 299 yds. with steady stix it dropped an Accubond 180 gr slug through the shoulder and took out the lungs. So, there wasn't any chasing after it.
I'd recommend it to anyone. I still haven't heard why the other is worth the 500-600 more. Tikka T3 is made with the same craftsmen and floating barrel as Sako. It's a terrific rifle imo.
