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.

That's great to hear, a gun company actually listening to feedback. Now if Remington would pull their head out of....the sand, regain their quality control and throw a 6.5cm into their sps line, they could sell them by the truck load
I shoot a 22creedmoor now, but if I was looking for a solid 22-250, this rifle would be high on the list for a factory option.
