I'm coming from a somewhat heavy .308 gas gun, getting a little older, so I'm looking to cut weight and overall size. I'm heavily invested in .308 reloading equipment, so I'm not looking for a caliber change.
Obviously, the Tikka T3x CTR seems like the ideal rifle. sub-MOA accuracy in most tests, 7.4pd for the bare rifle, 20" barrel is a nice length. I'm not a fan of barrels shorter than 20" for .308.
For due diligence, I've been looking around for other rifles in the Tikka weight/performance class, and just not finding them. There are precision rifles galore, but most are 10# and heavier, with 22" to 26" barrels. So just to be sure I'm not missing a contender, I'm asking here for other possible rifle systems in the same sub-10pd range. I would be comfortable up to $3000 dollars if the other rifle was proven to out shoot the Tikka system.
