Ain't nothing wrong with a savage in the accuracy dept, my only beef is the blind mag. system but that is personal preference. Tikka is solid as well, but I really wouldn't put the WT hunter as finished any better..the T3 has some nice improvements but they don't make a lefty model in the T3 so I won't consider Tikka until they do.

Scope the Burris or Bushnell Elite 3200 are worth consideration.
