    Yes tons of. Like all cartridges they have their limitations, if I had to it would do a one shoots all job.

    Also look at the mauser M18.
    Better factory trigger than a tikka and they shoot really well with factory ammo.
    Only downside is 1in10 twist so can't shoot the long heavies.
    But I run 55gr hornady training ammo or fiocchi in mine

    No, not with a Sauer sorry, but they look nice, and affordable.

    What do the CZ's cost now? I have a CZ527 and its lightyears better than any Tikka T3.

    I would look at a Howa mini. They sell them in Oz, cheaper than here too.
