Tikka T3 or Ruger Hawkeye Predator?

I'm torn between these two rifles in .308. The Tikka has a synthetic stock whereas the Ruger has a laminated. I've been told the Tikka is not a true short action but a long action with a stop. I know the Ruger will weigh a tad more but that really doesn't bother me. Also I can't find any warranty info for Tikka on their website. Anyone know what their warranty is? Don't know what others think of laminated stocks but this is a beauty to me!!

I don't notice my tikkas stop in the action but I am not gentle with the bolt:D

Unless you like a heavy rifle go with the lightweight T3. It has the smoothest action anywhere, the trigger is second to none, and out of the box accuracy is superb. I am sure that the Ruger is a quality rifle as well but I have a hard time imagining that it can best the Tikka in any measurable category though it does have a great feel to it.
 
I ike Rugers and plan on getting the Predator in 22-250 and 6.5 creedmoor. Made in America and will shoot moa. Plus they feel like a real rifle. The little extra weight will make it mor enjoyable to shoot.
 
Why not get a T3 hunter with laminated stock?

I have a T3 Lite in .308 that I got right after beretta started to import them. I would not trade that rifle for a Ruger...
