[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1487071, member: 31264"] You should take her to an outdoor shop and let her decide. They are both fine rifles. Myself, I'd prefer the Tikka over the Savage just for the fit and finish. Deer will never know the difference. You said her family likes Ruger. So why not a Ruger? All that said, all three are still budget rifles. Unless you have severe financial constraints, consider getting her something much nicer. Preferably MUCH nicer than any of your own rifles. She will love you for it. And I already know from what you have said about her - she is worth it! Consider a new or even a used Cooper. A finer factory production rifle does not exist. Yes, I know you can buy a half dozen Tikka/Savage rifles for the same price.... But your bride is worth more than a thousand NY City Girls. If that is too pricey, then try and find her a Kimber. They are top notch too. If that's still too pricey, look at a Sako 85 (the Grey Wolf is really nice) or a Browning X-Bolt (the Medallion is a show stopper). All of the rifles above shoot way better than most shooters can, and they all have fit, finish, and function that are head and shouders above the plethora of entry level rifles out there. Hold and cycle any one of them once and you will be amazed at the difference. Spoil her. Then spoil her some more. Nuff said. [/QUOTE]
