[QUOTE="cummins cowboy, post: 474278, member: 28348"] so I guess this forum is the only gun related one out there?? say what you want about tikkas, about how the recoil lugs sucks, the mag is plastic and everything else is plastic and how that sucks. I have owned 3 tikkas, my first one a 30-06 will aggregate .5 moa with 4 different bullets and 3 different powerders on the same day, and those were not ladder loads, just ones I picked from the book loaded and shot. next up a 204 ruger varmint, it shoots .5 moa with 32 vmaxs and 40 grain vmax hornaday factory loads. next up a 243 first time out shot a 3/8" ragged hole on the first group I shot after site in with 55 grain federal factory loads. the point is I have owned customs 4 total built by big name smiths that have built match winning rifles. yeah some are as accurate as the tikkas but they required ladder loads to beat them and nothing shoots everything well like the tikkas do, at least from what I have seem, when you get to .5 or even 2's or 3's with a factory 6.5# gun you don't feel the need to ladder test the loads further, so I never have done that with a tikka. there are some gunsmiths that offer a .5 moa guarantee with lighter rifles, but they want a ton of money to do it in most cases, ie 5k or so and my guess is they have to replace a few barrels that don't meet that. other makes like for instance GAP also offers a .5 moa guarantee but keep in mind the much heavier barrel.
