[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1132165, member: 55230"] I agree Montana. There is something more exciting about a premium barrel on an action with choices vs a limited box gun. I have a tikka, its a shooter but a few things absolutely suck about it. 1. I'm not a fan of the box mag. 2. The twist rate is slow limiting bullet and game options. 3. I wished it had a traditional lug on it. Otherwise the action is like glass the trigger is crisp and the janky stock isn't a complete waste. If you wanted a straight factory gun sure, but you clearly stated "build" and there is nothing to really build on a tikka. I'd stick to your original plan. Depending on budget consider DIY bedding job on the tupperware stock and see how it shoots, if it shoots paint it or hydro dip it. The adl config will save you weight and money but may leave you needing extra room for heavies, but if memory serves me correctly you may have just enough room for a 7mag+heavy bullet in the well. As time and opportunity allows I'd start adding parts.. a manners eh or mcm edge.. blue print...ptg bolt... barrel.. jewell. [/QUOTE]
