[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1510383"] TIkkas are great rifles but if you get one in 243 you'll be handicapped with a slow twist barrel. if you are going with a factory rifle I would get the tikka in 6.5 Creedmore since it has an 8 twist barrel. I was looking for the same type of set up that you're considering and recently bought a tikka 3006, and put a 7 twist 6mm rem pre-fit barrel on it. It'll cost you about $370 to re-barrel a tikka with a pre-fit from McGowen. Euro optics has some pretty good deals on the t3's, just over $400 For a light recoiling long range target/deer/ coyote rifle it's hard to beat a 6mm, check out the 110 SMK's they're no joke.
