[QUOTE="MH WASH, post: 1255766, member: 1713"] Went to the LGS Sunday just to touch and feel. Didn't expect much because it's a relatively small store. They had a used Tikka 308 on the shelf $425. Didn't look to be shot much but appeared to ride in a case a lot. The rifle felt great. I compared it to the RAR, and a Savage, plus a 700. Did not check out the Kimber Ascent, too pricey. Because I was still unsure about caliber, I left the store to think about it while Chrismas shopping with the wife. decided I wanted the Tikka so back to the LGS we go. Just walked through the door and there is a gun standing in the check out line with the Tikka! That night while cruising the 'net I find a used Tikka, but in 270 this time. I swap a few PMs with the guy and end buying it for $430 with a set of Leupold rings. Sometimes it's nice to have your mind made up for you. I will be getting a 308 at some point though. [/QUOTE]
