My .300 T3 Deluxe is a treat to shoot and deadly accurate. Of the 3 Tikkas in the house they all seem to share one characteristic - uncanny accuracy with almost any decent ammo. The nicest of them, an M658 Premier grade, is heavy - the sporter version of their long range BR rifles, and as smooth as silk. As fine as any Sako ever built. No plastic here. No complaints about the polymer clips in the T3's - they're tough as nails - and the guns simply shoot well. Great triggers. If recoil were ever an issue they'd wear Limbsavers or Decelerators in a heartbeat, but it isn't needed. They're called Lite for a reason. My Deluxe is 6 lbs 7 ozs bare - I love it. For $800 the best rifle for the money there is.
