The Tikka T3x in .270 WSM, with a 22-inch stainless threaded barrel and laminated stock. Tikka rifles, built by Sako in Finland, have earned a near-cult following on the strength of one thing above all: the action is glass smooth out of the box, and the rifles routinely shoot better than their price suggests.

The T3x updates the T3 with a modular stock system, improved recoil pad and a metal bolt shroud. The .270 WSM packs near-magnum .277 performance into a short action, a good fit for open-country deer and elk. Laminated wood adds stability against humidity, and stainless handles weather.
