I have a blued, left-hand T3 in .30-06 and use it for everything from caribou to bears. Oh yeah....... I whacked a wild beef cow on one of the nearby islands with it last year too.
T3s really do live up to their reputation from the sweet trigger to accuracy, the smooth bolt and light weight. Extra mags are a bit spendy and although I don't have first hand experience on this, Beretta CS is like dealing with the mob.
I mounted a Leupold FX-II fixed 4x on it which is the best balance for where and what I hunt, is compact and tends to minimize additional weight added to a lightweight rifle.
The year after I got it I swapped out the OEM scope rings for a set of Warne Perma Mounts as they attach to the receiver in the same manner as the OEM rings. Talley also makes rings and mounts specific to the Tikka. I also replaced the hard rubber pad with a Limbsaver which makes all the difference in the world when shooting Federal HE or developing loads that mimic them.
