Torn between two rifles for my first "real" bolt gun

Everyone has their favorite. Apparently this is "Tikka month".

It's been tikka month for about 30+ years here in Australia. I'm surprised it took you yanks so long to catch on. The older tikkas were much nicer than the T3, but the T3 is still a great rifle for the price.

What about Sako A7's. Bit more than a Tikka, not quite a sako 85, priced accordingly.
