[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 697470, member: 505"] I don't know if I have replied to this thread or not but I am amazed at the tikka performance. I own six with three I shoot and three in the box. The ones I shoot are amazing and will shoot with any rifle I own. When savage first started their new run of good accurate rifles about ten or so years ago I sold quite a few out of my shop. They all amazed us with affordable accuracy. I had a long range bench right at the shop for testing. Overall though the Tikkas were more accurate than the savage. I like the Sako action and trigger much better in the tikka. I have done nothing to my tikkas except freefloat the barrels and adjust the triggers. An action lug and bedding would be nice but I am afraid to touch them. All shot under 6" at 900 yards a couple weeks ago and that is basically straight off the shelf at Cabelas and Sportsmans Warehouse. I don't know what more a guy could ask for. I talked to the guy over production at the tikka factory at the SHOT show last year for 45 minutes. A private tutorial pretty much about the tikkas and how they get their accuracy. The action and barrel is top target quality mated perfectly to the tightest tolerances possible. To make the rifle affordable naturally they must cut corners in other areas but not where accuracy is involved as much. Basically the gist of the conversation was tolerances, tolerances, tolerances with target grade barrels mated perfectly to a sako action and that is a direct quote. [/QUOTE]
