[QUOTE="britz, post: 145487, member: 7865"] I just picked up my Tikka, it shot pretty well for using plain federal ammo. I was getting 1 inch groups @ 100 and I wasn't using a vise. But now that I think about it I spent a total of 730 on the rifle and a little over 4 on my scope, I wount even go into what I have spent on my loading equipement lol! Stay away from a Rum since the only rifle offered is the Remington (you may wish to check that out since I was shopping for a left hand rifle). The only reason I say that is because you will spend around 800 or more on the rifle alone The 7mm rem and 300 win are very popular and you will have a large variety of rifles to choose from. The 7 mm will have less recoil and do just fine on the game, but the 300 will produce more knock down at long range. Best bang for your buck (in the lower price range) in my opinion will be the Savage or the Tikka and both have adjustable triggers. If you are looking to shoot out to 600 + yards, then you are looking for a rifle that will shoot around half inch groups. In all honesty, you will need a little luck on your side when you pick out your rifle since the only way to guaranee that kind of accuracy is to purchase an expensive custom job. I hope this helps some. Britz [/QUOTE]
