Well long story short, buddy got a T3 in 30/06 and it just flat shoots! So at a gun show today I spot a 695 in 30/06 at a price I couldn't pass on. 450$ I know these are the older model before T3, but was wondering if anybody has one? What I read online was steel receiver more rigid, but heavier. And that they had slightly better barrels than the T3... ? Any body have one of these, and can shed some light on this for me?.
