[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 2501337, member: 91402"] Apparently you aren't intent on going ultralight which makes the choice easier. I like tikka because they are reliable in my experience as well as accurate and, just as importantly to me, they can be modified. You may have to look around but you can find their stainless steel models in laminated stocks which can be altered relatively easily. Many of the other stainless rifles are in hollow fibre stocks which are very expensive, (or is that invasive) to modify. Even tikka's fibreglass stocks have interchangeable grips and fore ends, and I like their more upright grip because it gives my hands better placement on the trigger, but shortening the pull by 3/4 of an inch on them was still a major effort, unlike their laminates. This is a problem I find with most modern fibre stocks. You would think the manufacturers would come up with a better plan than the one size fits all situation. [/QUOTE]
