[QUOTE="Longshotjames, post: 1185542, member: 91374"] I only own 4 Tikka rifles. They are the smoothest, polished action out of the box for a production rifle, period! I have a 6.5x55 T3 that I have killed more animals than I can list but the main point is the accuracy. It seems I can't go wrong with anything I load for it. The bad bullets are 3/4moa and the ones it likes are sub 1/2moa 6months ago I got a 7rem mag T3 that I get .6moa w/ 160gr TMK and just added a .243 T3 that I am playing with but sub MOA is no problem for it either. I've had a Tikka M595 for about 15yrs in .223 that has been my designated varmint rifle. Only con I can see would be they only hold 3 rounds in their plastic Drop box magazine. I would hate to loose a magazine as they are like $50 to replace but could be done. I've always thought if you are hunting the first shot was the most important and rarely have I needed more. I've also rarely ran accross anyone with a lemon but I guess there could be one from any manufacturer. I say buy the Tikka and you will be happy you did for the money they are hard to beat! Good luck James [/QUOTE]
