Going to get a new rifle for big game hunting and was thinking about a Tikka or Winchester Model 70. Just wanted to know your thoughts.

Tikka all the way. We have 5 of them and they are all amazing at their price point you won't find a better gun.

I like the new South Carolina Winchesters - smooth and they shoot well.
Plus, you can just drop a round in and feed it like it was a push-feed rifle.

My tikka is freaking awesome. Absolute tack driver for the price.

The Model 70 will be nicer, I really like mine. I have looked at a lot of Tikka's but never shot one. Just based on what Tikka owners seem to say across the board, the odds are that the Tikka will be more accurate. I really like my extreme weather, but a tack driver it isn't, at least by today's web standards. It is a solid 1.25" to 1.75" gun. I let myself agonize over this for a long time, even thought about selling it for a while, then I said "Self, are you really going to sell a rifle that you really like, most likely at a loss, over a separation in bullet holes half the length of the first joint of your thumb?" More especially, since I will never most likely have a need to shoot past 250 yds in a life time of KY deer hunting. So I say all steel, all American Winchester.

John Wayne didn't tell Ben Johnson to break out the Tikka's in the movie Chisum did he?
James Pepper: What are you going to do?
John Simpson Chisum: What I had done twenty-five years ago. Pat, get the men out of South Camp. Trace, you round up everybody that can ride a horse or pull a trigger. Let's break out some Winchesters!

Just think what they could have done if they had Chevy pickups instead of horses.
While I am admittedly a "traditionalist" with some things, guns ain't one of them. Either it shoots good or it don't. And unless it's some sort of star-wars-looking POS I am really not enamored with looks when it's a hunting gun. The Tikkas I have owned will out shoot most Winchesters I have had. And that's a fact. They aren't as traditional looking, and they ain't as purty, but I've never heard an animal complain about the looks of the gun that you just shot them with .......

Come on now.. Let's not let that hamstring effect your sense of humor! LOL
I do like the T3 lite. I've often thought about one in 223. If they sold one in 17rem I'd lay the cash down this afternoon.

Awe ... my sense of humor is a little slooooow this morning.
The T3 Lite is a good rifle. My best shooter was the T3 Varmint Stainless in a .223. It shot cloverleafs at 100 yards and did very well on the PD shoot I took it on.
I'm not a Winny downer. They're good guns and my first high-power rifle was a .30-30 lever gun. Killed a lot of deer and 2 hogs with that little rifle.
