I have a 695 which is the predicessor to the T3. IMO newer isn't better. I like the 695 better. Same slick action, heavier bbl, more solid synthetic stock. But they arent' cheap. They list used higher than a t3 new and there is good reason. Mine has been fired but only 11 rounds I think. I have it listed somewhere.

I will sell mine w/redfield scope for $650.
