[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 467676, member: 22030"] You are right, I had a Tikka 595 in 223 and still have a 695 in 270 that are both 1/2" guns with the right loads. I shot my whitetail this year with the 270. I love the tikka rifles, great trigger and accuracy out of the box. My problem with them for mountain hunting is the safety. It's not a big deal on my deer rifle around home because I don't hike that far or carry a daypack. I often carry my rifle over my left shoulder when carrying a gun a long way. I have had trouble with the safety like the tikka and remington 700 being rubbed off on my pack leaving my bolt free to come open and collect dirt. I have never had that happen with the tang safety which makes me want one for this project. If not for the safety I'd have already bought a Tikka. [/QUOTE]
