[QUOTE="Sflutes, post: 1580669, member: 106464"] While a Tikka is a nice budget minded rifle there are things about them I don't care for. If you really want to buy yourself a nice rifle I would look at a custom built to your own specs. Some have rifles ready off the shelf like Nosler. I know Travis at R Bros is stocking wonderful rifles to fill fast orders. Travis finished my 280ai for me and while I've not finished developing a load for it I'm expecting great things from it. If you want something built from the ground up based of the Rogue action that is where I would start Jason started the build, and my rifle includes a Manners Stock, much stiffer than a McMillian, piller bedded, ADL style blind magazine with a Limbsaver recoil pad, painted a olive green with black webbing, dual front sling swivels (one for your bipod). Internals include a three position Winchester safety on a spiral flutted ptg remington bolt, skeletonized bolt handle, AR style extractor, Shilen trigger set at 2#, 24" Boughton barrel, Talley two piece lightweight rings/bases, Leupold Vx3 3-10 scope. All metal was stainless steel which was cerakoted black matte. [/QUOTE]
