Well I guess I'm a little late with my post but I was also going to suggest a Tikka. I've never owned one but was looking at them the other night. I was impressed with the crisp trigger and the action. The bolt seems like sliding wet glass on glass. Even moving it slowly resulted in no drag. It was slicker than snot on a doorknob. And the price is decent. I was somewhat turned off by the polymer magazine. But then I thought, hey, I have pistols made with this stuff. Its pretty tough.
And the good part is I am lefty and it comes in a ton of chamberings. I really don't need another rifle but darn it, I just may have to get one of these. Guarranteed 3 shots in 1"? I hve rifles that will do that without the guarrantee. So this may be even better.
I may just have to get me a 338 Federal in the T3 Lite Stainless.
