RE: tikka whitetail
Hmm, I've only heard great things about the Whitetail, sounds like Tikka is just Finland's Savage. Does anyone know what the differences are between the Whitetail and the T3? It seems like Beretta shelved the Whitetail in order to introduce the T3 to compete with the Savages and similarly priced rifles. What did they have to cut off the Whitetail to get the T3? I guess it will all come out eventually but am curious if anyone knows now.

RE: tikka whitetail
I think part of the reason that the T3 is generating some negative posts is the new action. Apparently the new Tikka T3 will only come in one action length. The shorter rounds will be accommodated with different magazines and a special bolt stop. On the short magnum forum this has gone over like a lead balloon. I'm not certain what the strategy was behind swapping out the Whitetail Hunter line with the T3, but it appears to be ill thought out. Falls into the category of "if it ain't broke don't fix it".
