Been using Tikka rifle for 20+ years...
First was a 595 SS/syn 7-08..this is pre T3 series..695 was the LA
About one pound heavier than the T3....ever see one F/S....buy it !
Built in the same factory in Finland as the Sako rifles costing twice as much $$
Earlier ones were a bargain...now Beretta caught on and prices jumped up
My fav was probably a Lam/SS 6.5x55....kilt my Utah Desert Ram back in '13 with it

Had a T3X LITE in 270 win that kicked like a 300 mag. Accurate enough. Super smooth cycling. I personally dint like the stock. I eventually went whole-hog and did the manners stock thing, bix & Andy trigger, pac-nor 6-284 barrel. Its every thing I ever dreamed of. If you want right out of the box and go, Tikka is what I will advise.
