Gotcha ya. I like the T3...it's a fine rifle. I'm new to Tikka and have no complaints so far. I looked at both the T3 and the WH and had a hard time deciding between the two. You won't be disappointed in the T3 as far as performance. They're selling like hot cakes around here.

I want one in a 25.06 but the wife says no more for now. [:@]

Good luck with your decision.

I was thinking about the T3 Lite for myself also. I had the good fortune to recently see a gentleman I know a little at the shooting range. He just purchased one in the 300 Win. Mag. His rifle was MOA out of the box. The only problem is that with the light weight of the rifle the recoil was stiff. He doesn't reload so he had a number of factory fodder to go over. His best groups were with the Federal High Energy load he had. I believe it was a 200 grain load. As he fired I watched the recoil rock him back. He likes the accuracy and hates the recoil. However, he is going to have a brake installed which will effectively dampen the recoil but it will also increase noise and muzzle blast. If I buy a Tikka it will not be the T3 Lite. I will opt for one that has more weight. I hate muzzle brakes.
