With browning rifles you don't need any aftermarket options. Really, what do you need on a hunting rifle.
Xbolt or tikka t3x

I agree with those that said go handle them and see which one feels better to you.
There are feature differences, which have been mentioned (safety location, magazine, bolt unlock, etc). These are all personal preference. I prefer the features / ergonomics of the x bolt, some prefer the Tikka.
As mentioned, practically zero aftermarket for the browning, this is typical of brownings. But I’ll echo the post above in saying you buy a browning to shoot it pretty much the way it came. All of mine are more accurate than I am, that’s all I need. All three of mine have mcarbo trigger springs, 2 have a reliable and repeatable 2.5 pound pull, one is 2.75/3 pounds. All 3 break like a glass rod.
Happy hunting and let us know which you go with!

I owned Tikka rifles all the way up until I got an X-Bolt (2 T3 and 4 T3X), now I have 3 Brownings and 0 Tikkas.
As stated, the triggers are fine if you understand how they work and how to work on them. The stocks are much nicer, the mags are nicer, the finish is better, and mine are a wash on accuracy compared to my T3 and T3X rifles.
So you are saying that Brownings are " MORE ACCURATE " then Tikka's ? Please Explain your findings !RJ
