RE: Tikka and Browning?
I have a Tikka T3 270 short mag, and I have shot my uncles 270 short mag stainless stalker. I'll tell you what I love my Tikka. They are hard to find though so if you find one you are pretty lucky. The stocks on the two guns are pretty much the same, and if you have a prefrence on the stock you can always get an aftermarket stock.
which ever gun you chose you will be happy!
