The T3 has the smoothest action of any of the production rifles. I have a couple of safes full of rifles, not just a few are custom and I can tell you that is almost disgraceful that the T3 will...

RE: Want to buy a good rifle and need help !!!

Although it is not my favorite rifle, Savage has the most accurate production barrel made. If they could match the bolt and trigger quality to their barrels, nobody could touch them.
