I've had em both, and I liked the Tikka better.. Mine had a better trigger and would outshoot the Ruger.

T3, i bought one in 270 as a back up and liked it so much that i carry it 9%95 of the time and mine will consistently shoot a 1/2 3 shot group at 100 yards with factory ammo! Oh yea, the trigger is VERY crisp too!

To me this is a no brainer, get the tika! It will shoot it's butt off right out of the box and the trigger is Awesome!

Tikka,Hands down.Also noticed the Rugers tend to heat up a little faster.Of course,with ultra lites that happens anyhow.Have both,but as stated before,the Rugers trigger is a little harder out of the box.Either is an over all good choice in that price range.

Tika in 308, great choice. My cheap tika out shoots my high dollar rigs and unless you pay for a trigger job, the factory tika trigger is about the best trigger that I've felt, i like it better than the timney trigger.
