[QUOTE="Nimrod62, post: 2184370, member: 118165"] Thanks CBH Australia. I've never actually handled a Tikka, but from what I'm reading here and elsewhere, their barrels are providing consistent reports of tight groups. Their actions are manufactured to tolerances that would seem to require no blueprinting if one goes to the trouble and expense of re-barreling. Their triggers are good-to-go and resistant to sand/dust. There is a growing amount of aftermarket upgrades like stocks, pre-fit barrels, scope mounts, etc... I see photos of lots of really nice full-custom rifles on this forum, but most are beyond my means at the moment, so I'm interested in best-value options. What I'd really hoped to find was thing like details on magazine lengths to ensure that maximum cartridge overall lengths can be accommodated (e.g., I read in one of the threads hyperlinked above that a 300 WSM was a better choice than a 300 WM in the Tikka due to this). What are the best sources for factory Tikka parts (including take-off barrels, stocks...)? Is it cost-effective to buy a Tikka rifle as a donor just for the action? Does the bottom "metal" (plastic) really warrant replacement? Who are the trusted gunsmiths that have experience with Tikkas? Why are certain scope mounts preferred for Tikka? Is there any way to import models into the USA that Beretta does not? [/QUOTE]
