I am very seriously considering purchasing a T3, but I am somewhat of a "gadget" hunter when it comes to firearms purchases. The more available, the better. I ask the following questions.
1. I am leaning to the 300 WSM. Now, I like versatility in a rifle, but like to have unique calibers. I already have your .303, .308, the .308 being the more versatile, at least I feel that way. In the line of versatilty (good for this animal to that animal) I feel the 300 WSM maybe overkill for some smaller game animals, like deer and pronghorn, but right on par for the larger elk, bear and moose. Is it in fact overkill for the smaller game? If so, any other suggestions/recommendations for caliber?
2. I want DIVERSITY. The selection of accessories seems fairly limited atm. For instance, I like the stock, but would prefer a hogue overmould with adjustable cheek rest, even LOP. Is there anything out there yet? Also, other accessories. I mean, I know of the optilock system w/quick release, and have read many good things about it. But what of larger magazines (I prefer to carry a couple magazines with higher round count as compared to 4 or 5 lower round counts...not a HUGE deal, but one of those added value/convenience things). Can anyone point me in the direction of available accessories and things to come for this series of rifle? Anything...barrels, stocks, magazines, Muzzle breaks etc. One thing I really like with this rifle is the versatility the quick release base system offers, for quick change between reddot/scope for bush hunting/long range. THat's a huge bonus to me.
3. So far I know of SIR and Wholesale sports selling these, but know I've stumble across other links via this sight, but can't find them. Where else can I purchase these? (preferable with online listings). I know there is a retailer whose catalog online consisted primarily of PDF documents. I came across them in my hunt for the Benelli Nova, and they were the lowest priced retailer. I never did purchase that yet, as other things came up. But, would like to find that sight again.
Thanks all!
