Are you still looking at the Tikka T3 for your rifle choice? I am very interested to hear how you like it.

I sure am as I think it looks like the best bang for the buck:P
I'm specificly looking at the Camo Synthetic SS standard, not the light version. Optics may be an issue however, I need more than a 10x and I see the size of the scope is limited on the T3.

"Texas hunting rifle?" All you need is a bucket of oats and a club!

I'm not a fan of heavy barrels, either. They add a lot of weight without adding much benefit. Just more weight to lug around, slower to shoulder, and harder to hold steady andshoot off-hand.
Texan, have you ever shouldered a T/C Encore? since they are generally 6-8 inches shorter than a regular bolt or semi rifle (because they lack the actual bolt/ semi action)...they are easier to maneuver and shoulder, even with the bull barrel. i will say the bull/heavy barrel does add weight to the rifle but it still weighs less than my Wby. .300 mag

I have. Not trying to step on anybody's toes, but I'm just not a big fan of them. I wasn't ever real comfortable with the angle of the grip, and they just don't shoulder as well for me as my other rifles.

I, like Texan, am not a big fan of the Encore's either, they just don't feel good to me, with that weird grip.

the grip is what sold me on the rifle. it's more of a "natural" feel

Well thanks for all the input and I went a little different route than I thought I would.
I wound up getting a Savage 110FP 25-06, just liked the feel of the trigger and wanted a little heavier barrel, hopefully it will serve me well!
