    If you'll be walking lots the t3 hunter with the fluted barrel sure looks nice.... Remember weight is a factor if you plan on doing long stalks. I took my Varmint barrel howa once on a deer stalk.... That's not happening again.

    Ha ha i did the same a while ago. On the drive up i was thinking i must need my head read lol.
    It actually wasn't too bad it was just the topheavyness on the sling was a pain .

    While weight is a consideration of course i wouldn't/dont worry about it too much on my rifle. A pound is neither here nor there. Its the difference of carrying two venison shanks back out

    I find a bit of weight in the rifle makes it easyer to shoot both off the bench and in the field, especially in the field.

    T3 is a good rifle to be sure, almost certain to get an accurate one but they only have a 3 shot single stack mag. You can get a 5 shot mag but it sticks out and my personal opinion is it ruins a nice hunting rifle.

    Weather a 3 shot mag is an issue for you and the type of hunting you plan to do is up to you.
