BTRACK - That' s sort of what I was thinking. It would depend upon how much you had to carry it or any firearm around up and down the mountains or wherever. I was told by the gunsmith at a recent sportsmans' show that the lighter weight will kick a bit more. But I figure, aside from sighting it in, I would only hope to shoot 1 or 2 times during the season, if I do it right. It would be good not to have to carry anymore weight than necessary. Although less than a pound difference may not make that much difference.
I just was sure if there were any other significant changes that were a positive or negative anyone new about. I' ll probably try to go to a shop that has the whitetail hunter and T3 in stock, if I can and feel the difference in weight, feel, balance, etc.
Thanks for the thoughts folks!
