[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 35941, member: 313"] I've got a Tikka (pre-T3 model) in 7mm-08. With taylored handloads it easily shoots 1.5" groups at 200yds. Thats far more accurate than I need for whitetail. Groundhogs out to 300yds should not be much of a problem either. The Tikka has a owner adjustable trigger, unlike the Rem's. Action is very smooth and overall quality is better than the price would indicate. For an out of the box rifle, I'd take the Tikka any day. BUT, if your gonna give in to the custom bug, buy the Remington. To answer your question about Remington's quality control, well, that all depends on what day of the week the rifle was manufactured on. If you surf the net enough you will hear a lot of horror stories from owners of Rem 700's that should never have left the plant. Do a search on Tikkas and shooters can't say enough good things about them. I guess you could look at them as a poor man's Sako. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] VH [/QUOTE]
