I was in the same position... it came down to the t3 light or the x bolt... I like the smooth bolt on the tikka but I have heard some not so pleasant news about sako and tikka however I also read over and over that both shoot very well.
I ended up with the 243 browning x bolt as it just looked and felt a little better then the tikka synthetic... the wood grain tikka was very close though also.
I have an a bolt in a 22-250 and it is a tack driver at 200 yds so I stayed with browning on this one. Paid 750 for it and a 400 nikon monarch scope... more then I wanted to spend... yes but I know I will be happy.
