I purchased a T3 Hunter in 6.5x55 a while back. If you favor a classic all steel and wood rifle with hand checkered stock you may be put off by the T3 plastic magazine,trigger guard and cocking piece shroud and the laser checkering. However, the trigger is excellent and accuracy with reloads in my rifle is consistently sub minute of angle. The rifle weighs six and a half pounds give or take a few ounces. The stock design is good and recoil is practically non existent. The T3 is the rifle I take from the safe most often, particularly when there are mountains to climb.
