I think Tikka is hearing the complaints on the T3's. On the T3x, they have a metal bolt shroud, replacing the plastic shroud. Also they fixed the recoil lug complaint. When I looked over the new T3x features, the first thing I thought was, "Hey someone is listening to the customers". Yes they are charging more for the upgrades, but at least one can buy them now. I had to order metal bolt shrouds from Australia to fix that issue on my T3, and my M-695. If I was looking for a 22-250 at the moment, I would be getting in line for this one.
