The new Tikka T3 series combines top accuracy and affordability. A cold-hammer forged barrel provides outstanding accuracy, and it's mated with a delightfully smooth action. The trigger is crisp and clean, adjustable for a pull between two and four pounds. Available in two models, the T3 Hunter has a checkered wood stock and blued barrel while the T3 Lite sheds extra ounces with a synthetic stock. Available in a full range of calibers, including .270 WSM and .300 WSM. Suggested retail: $549-$646. Beretta, (301) 283-2191, www.berettausa.com
