tikka t3 lite/ savage 110 in .243 win. help please?
hello all, i have been looking into buying a new hunting rifle and have settled on the .243 win. cal. because i will be hunting coyotes, groundhogs, etc. and deer. now i am having some difficulties choosing a rifle. i am split between two, the savage model 110 and the tikka t3 series.
i have chosen these two rifles because they are relatively cheap and in my price range which is about 500-600$$ max. i am having trouble finding a rifle because i am left-handed and idk… the savage is cheaper and all, also something that would help me decide on which one to buy would be the availability of parts and how cheap the parts are.
which model has the most parts readily available? so could i have some help on which one is better, has more parts/accessories, is left handed and is blued. could you help find one on the internet? i seem to can't find any. i appreciated all your help… thanks in advance.
ask me if you have any questions that may help clarify anything that is unclear.
or not just the savage 110, possibly any other model savage such as the 111. etc.

http://www.savagearms.com/centerfire_home.htm is the link to Savage Arms. When you get this page, remember that there is a Stevens button at the center top too. Check it out too. The Stevens has a little stiffer trigger but, it's still a good rifle.
I'm not partial to either although I own a Savage. A Tika is a very finely made import from Finland, and they do make fine rifles. However, by your description, parts availability leads the American Made Savage. This is probably going to be an only rifle for everything so, I'd go with the Stevens. You can afford to carry it around and not fuss over it. A Tika is fine if you prefer to go to Gander Mountain and no telling how long repair would take although, I don't really think a Tika T3 breaks down much- they are good stuff. E-mail me if you want more links, I've got some websites.http://www.tikka.fi/
