Cannot speak to the accuracy of my Mesa yet as I am still breaking in the barrel, however the fit and finish are excellent for a bog standard factory gun.
But why did they have to drill holes in a perfectly good bolt handle.??

Nice looking rifle though.

Biggest complaint on a Tikka t3 is the mag...too short if your a reloader...BUT if you buy one in 6.5x55 they have a longer mag and bullet/cartridge length is a non issue..
