Get the whitetail hunter if you can find one. You shouldn' t be disappointed. Just remember, rifles are finicky. What shoots well in one, may not hit a barn in another. And, there' s always the chance of getting one that slipped thru the QC department. I' ve handled several WH' s and they are fantastic rifles. Haven' t seen a T-3, but heard that they aren' t quite the rifle the WH is.
