Thread: T3 or remington

I sell a number of each brand and theres a few questions that I always ask.

What feels better when its on the shoulder ? ( most important )

Would you look at customizing it later on?

Do you prefer the drop out mag style / floor plate or blind mag style ?

Scope and rings? what have you got or what do you need?
Remmingtons can come with a cheaper rings and scope package or quality rings only package at the same price . Tikka are standard with alloy rings which are functional but not really nice.

Both shoot just fine but they do feel different to each other.

I bought the 700 adl and scope package for that special price just b4 the roar. The plan was either T3 in 6.5 or 700 in 708. The 700 came up and i'm very happy with it. I like the short action and the long barrel. I find it well balanced, both to carry and to shoot off hand. Although slightly heavier than some rifles i've carried all day, it did't make my arm as tired. Weight isn't everything, balance is important too. I have a leupold to go on it, but as a curiosity left the "cheap" scope and rings it came with on (essentially the intro level Bushnell) and I can't complain. I doubt I could out shoot an off the shelf T3 with my off the shelf 700 SS adl. I'm glad I saved the $200 (even more if you count the scope). I think the 700 is a better fit for me.

Try out both, even try to take one of each for a walk and shoot, then pick the one you like the feel of best.

Great points. One thing I'd add is when testing how a rifle feels on the shoulder, I've found I need to test with the rifle scoped, as I've been mislead about the feel when just testing the rifle "bare" before.
