thanks for your answer MR BAKER. the recap of the differences between the 3 variants is handy. thing being, i dislike the other two buttstock,and the prs gen 3 is what i need.i'm a tall dude,and generally speaking i like to have my scope mounted a little higher than what it should be in an ideal world. then,the 5R riflings.....i buy that! i remember that,every rifle 5r riflings barreled guns i've shot to this day were very accurate,so another +for the evolution unit,while i know the theory behind the 5r rflings being softer on the bullet coating is just that, a theory.............

...but then,what about intrinseque accuracy,aka what the gun is capable of.......i read everywhere that the tikka T3X TAC A1 is capable of SUB .5 moa with well tailored reloads,and that it's an easy sub moa all day long with on the shelve ammo.

what about the savage ? is it a at best a sub moa gun, and is it possible to extract a solid sub .5 moa from it with reloads?

seems like the tikka has set the bar in the accuracy department......
