Pops, for 3k rifle + scope, I would get a T3, and spend the rest on scope and can.
I've got some advise early in life to spend at least as much on the scope as the rifle, and have never regretted doing that once...
You could get a nice Leupold VX3 4.5-14x40, even at mad NZ optics prices, or look at one of the Internet optics places for better value.
