I would place the quality of the action, barrel, trigger, stock, accuracy way before a threaded barrel. It is no big deal to bring a rifle to a smith and have them thread it.

I hear what you're saying.

This is what I was talking about. Doesn't look like the barrel is threaded?

I have a SS tikka T3 Lite and wouldn't recommend it, some-mine- don't shoot well at all. I really want to get on the Bergara train.

Remington Model Seven SS in the cartridge of your choice. I picked 7-08 for mine.

I don't doubt you didn't like yours, but they are nearly universally viewed as tack drivers -- you may be the exception in support of the rule.

Full disclosure, my T3 lite stainless (2004 vintage) didn’t shoot everything great, I sprayed some really high buck premium loads all over the place, but once I found what it liked, it drives tacks.
