All the reviews I have read are very good. I was looking for a gun with a threaded barrel and have read a lot of reviews and decided to go with the Tikka. The stock seems to be better on the T3X but I am sure I will have to order an upgrade to get the 1000' shots with any consistency. If you're going for distance shooting why not go with the 6.5Creedmoor?

The Tikka with a 20" barrel will make the 1000' shots and I can use it for hunting and already have the reloading setup for it. The Tikka will be a great entry level rifle for long range shooting.

With the right hand load it will consistently shoot 1/2 MOA. I've got the 20" barrel version. They came out with a 24" version of the CTR this year. Good thing I'm past justifying the need for a gun before purchasing it.
