DEFINITLY A GO!!! I bought one in August in .270 Win. As far as caliber I would look at the .270 Win. There is hardly any differece between the .270 WSM other than price and availability of ammo! The .270 Win is a real tack driver and more than enough power for just about any animal on this continent. As far as the T3 WOW! I have shot many different loads and can' t find anything that won' t consistantly shoot under 1 inch groups with the Hornady interlocks I am shooting this year 3 shots under a half inch, and this is factory ammo! The gun blows away any winchester, Remington, or browning to say the least. The action glides and the trigger is awesome!! I bought mine for $429 and in my opinion shoots more like a $900 rifle. Go for it and don' t look back. I will have mine forever I know that! The only bad thing I can say about mine is I wish I could have afforded a couple more in other calibers!
