[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 696980, member: 22242"] I have shot and worked up loads for several savages and a lot of Tikka's and my results maybe arent exactly fair. I have seen half of the savages shoot great and some were horrible. the bad ones were a 111BTH in 243, best it would do was 1 inch, and a 110FCPHS best it would do was 2 inches. However I built a load for a 116 300 win accustock model and it literally shoots 1/4" or less and the other good savage was a 12BVSS in 300 wsm is shot about the same. With some bedding I am sure the other 2 would have tightened up. I have built loads for probably 10 different tikkas and without exception all were 1/2" or better rifles with load development and floating the barrel. My vote goes to tikka. I like how they feel and how light they are. to me its a great rifle. and inspite of the 22.5" barrel I can smack a 8" gong at 800 yards almost every time. My furthest kill with a tikka is at 760 yards with a 25-06. Not saying anything against savage, but in my experience the tikka is a safe bet. [/QUOTE]
