[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 707573, member: 25383"] The one that I shot had a walnut stock, and just felt really good in the shouldered position. One thing I didn't like about the Tikka was the magazine. The best magazine I've ever used was the one on the original Marlin MR-7 of about 15 years ago. The Tikka shot five shot groups at slightly over 5/8" center to center with hand loads. I'd call that real world good in my book. To compair this with something else in a hunting rifle, I have one older Vanguard (wood stock) that is a rock solid half inch gun with 150 grain bullets in 30-06. I also have a MK.V light weight that is a good 3/4" rifle shooting off a cold barrel. The Marlin MR-7 started out at about one inch and is shooting about .70" groups with 150 and 165 grain bullets. I can't get it to shoot good groups with 180 grain bullets for some odd reason. I get similar groups with my MK. V in .270 mag with out doing much reload development. All these rifles have either Leupold 3x-9x or the VarIII 3.5x-10x scopes. gary [/QUOTE]
