Presumably the accuracy could have been improved with different ammo and/or rifle tweaking and the trigger could have been adjusted better, but it sure as hell wasn't flawless.

    Shot it back to back with a Savage and I can't think of a single thing the Savage didn't do better. Trigger, action smoothness, safety ergonomics, accuracy. Oh the T3 was lighter because I was comparing it with a wood/blued Savage, the synthetic versions are about the same weight.

    No problems with fussy triggers or feeding hollow points for my Savages (probably only tried HPs in 22lr and 223 I think). Maybe you were unlucky with them and I was unlucky with Tikka, you can get the odd bad example from any manufacturer.
    You are the first person I have ever read bag the Tikka/Sako trigger.
    It is widly reveiwed as one of the best factory triggers.

    you must have tried one some home "smith" had "improved" ?
