So other than the action, the magazine and the stock the A7 and the T3 are basically the same... so basically they have the same barrel?

Both rifles have their pros and cons.
I prefer the action on the A7 (mainly the ability to load through the action and the three locking lugs).
I prefer the stock shape/feel on the A7 over the T3 (synthetic stock anyway).
I prefer a wooden stock and a blued action - the A7 only comes with an synthetic stock.
I prefer the price tag on the T3!

For a first rifle i would reccommend a T3. I hope you have a bit of shooting experience behind you cause i would expect you to put a limbsaver on your T3 straight away in .270. Not a caliber i would have recommended straight away, not in a light weight rifle anyway.

I would probably buy the T3 and spend the extra cash on a suppressor! Better quality scope won't stop you building a flinch into your shooting.

Top post...it is the flinch that gets so many of them.
