Tikka T3x or Bergara Premier

[Saltyfish]

Greetings from Finland.

First post here and could use some advice. I have few older Sako 75’s and now looking for new rifle. Biggest reason for new gun is better availability of stocks and other after market parts. For 75 those are hard to find. So now trying to decide if i should get Tikka T3X ss or Bergara Premier barreled action. Which one is better? Which of the two has better fit an finish, higher reliability, tighter clearances, and smoother operation?

Definitely can’t go wrong with either in my opinion. The Bergara may have better aftermarket support as I believe it’s a 700 clone. Tikka has decent aftermarket support that is rapidly growing, a smoother action, and can be found cheaper from what I’ve seen. I’m building a rifle off a Tikka T3X right now and I am absolutely loving it. I’m also left handed and it seems to be easier to find left handed Tikkas.
