Yeah the T3 tikka is safe bet. I personally find them very accurate, reliable and boring as hell. Ill generally recommend one for a guy looking to get his first rifle but I think sometimes guys that have been around the traps a bit just want something a little different and sometimes things aren't popular simply because we are a predominately a nation of sheep. Im not recommending Malhunting buy a titan, just telling him how i found the one i had.
