X-Bolt 2. Short action, better mags, better action, better safety, better stock, equal trigger.


X-Bolt 2 competes with Sako, T3 competes with the Ruger American.

Tikka T3X in .308 is my next purchase for all the usual reasons. Happy shopping OP.

I never owned a Browning and don't know much about them. However, I recently purchased my first Tikka T3X, there is a-lot to like about it!

If I was wanting a 308 win cartridge I would want it in a short action rifle. So out of those two I would go with a browning. jmo.

Welcome to the nice choice of rifles club!

Agreed on getting your shoulder behind one but i vote tikka. Easily tikka.

I have both. Get whatever's cheaper. Both are excellent.

Howa, Sauer, Benelli, Bergara, Chapuis Arms, CZ ..........

X Bolt is nowhere close to a Sako, and the T-3 has a far superior trigger.

2nd time at the range today with my base model T3x in .308 and now I get the hype.
