Whistlebritches, I have both a tikka t3 in (223) and a xbolt in 7-08 and I will have to say for a fast second shot I would go with the x bolt. The x bolt is not only a real short action it also has a 60 degree bolt lift that facilitates a much faster cycle and it is smooth. The accuracy between the 2 is about equal. The Tikka trigger is nicer than the x bolt but I cured that little issue by changing the xbolt trigger to a timney..Any other questions, feel free to ask.
