Ive decided I need a .308 and so I'm looking seriously at the T3 varmint in 308. I have 2 concerns about the system that I haven't been able to resolve through searching(perhaps my keywords are weak).
1st, I have heard some comments about weak recoil lugs bending/deflecting... seems somewhat common in the magnums but is this a problem for a Tikka in .308?
2nd, A local at the shooting range down here said that the barrels on the Tikkas have taken a hit in quality since beretta has begun importing them...not trying to spread rumors as I don't know, just wanting to see if anyone has any knowledge about recent QC.
I really want to pick one up but I wanted to see what others more knowledgeable than myself might be able to share with me.
I will probably get the EGW base for it if I do end up getting the T3... Im not locked into the T3 yet but I already have a Remmy and thought it sounds like its worth a shot.
