    Get a T3 TAC A1 and you´re set 😉
    No limited editions ..

    I know all about the TAC A1. It is somewhat difficult to compare these two rifles because so much is different between them. The TAC is not stainless, not a heavy barrel profile, and uses a much less rigid AR-style stock. And the TAC has a higher street price than the TSR-1.

    On the plus side, the TAC does have a 2-stage trigger, but the single stage Tikka trigger is so nice, I don't know how much of an advantage the 2-stage has over the standard trigger. The TAC is available in barrels longer than 20″ (but not in 308), and is available in 6.5 Creedmoor. So unless you just specifically want a 24″ Creedmoor, I don't see the TAC having a significant advantage anywhere, and it is at a disadvantage in a number of areas.

    And what is the problem with a limited edition? That seems like an advantage to me, not a disadvantage.

    EDIT: The TAC does come with a muzzle brake, and also comes with 2 magazines as compared to the 1 mag with the TSR. These are rather small details, but they do put a couple of points in  the TAC column.
