I have had my Tikka T3 (7mm Rem Mag) since 2005. I loved the way the rifle shot and enjoyed carrying it. The only thing I didn't like was the plastic stock it came with, so I decided to give it a facelift.
I ordered one of the new Bell and Carlson Medalist stocks ($236) for it, and a set of Talley Lightweight aluminum rings ($45). They came in the other day. It was really easy to swap out stocks and I was impressed with the tight fit of the stock and aluminum bedding block. I remounted the Leupold VX-2 with the new rings and headed to the range. To be honest I didn't get much more accuracy out of the rifle, but the feel of the rifle was better, and the recoil seemed a little better managed with the new stock. And if nothing else I think the gun looks way better. If you have a T3 I would highly reccomend the B&C Medalist stock to give a good gun a little better feel.
