Tikkas have a 2 position safety with no way to unload while keeping it off fire. The Tikkas are very accurate but some (with the cheapo plastic stocks) kick pretty good depending on caliber.
The A-bolt has the same type of safety and keep in mind that a T3 lite is made to weigh in at 6lbs 3oz. Any rifle that light will kick if you buy the right (or wrong
) chambering.
Personally I much prefer the T3 hunter over the lites.
