[QUOTE="7mmShooter, post: 1160948, member: 81795"] Maybe I should rephrase what I meant by that... They certainly shoot great from the factory, but the lugs do not hold up for long.. If you look at the stock lug after the rifle has been shot for a few rounds you will see an upside down trapezoid start to form.. That deformation of the lug will allow the action to move under recoil. This is why most smiths that work on tikkas recommend you replace the lug as it usually fails around 100 rounds. Have a great day guys! [/QUOTE]
