Should I get a Sako T3x or Sako finbear?

I can not speak for the carbon light, but I have a T3X and a Sako Finbear Deluxe. The T3X functions perfectly and is as accurate as any rifle gets. Same for the Finbear. However, if your looking for fit and finish, the Finbear wins hands down.

Should I get a tikka or a factory stock?

Huge fan of Tikkas. Their factory plastic stocks are garbage. Get a tikka and use the money saved to get a nice stock. A factory Tikka with an aftermarket stock is about as good as it gets for what you’d spend on that combo IMO. Thanks for the input guys. I should have given a bit more info on what I am looking for.
