[QUOTE="thwatson2, post: 1969608, member: 56839"] When I buy a tactical/target rifle in a chassis, I like to figure the components and their cost. What can I do with the rifle. What are the upgrades available and how does the components compare. Are the actions equal in material, are the triggers comparable and easily adjustable. How do they feel in your hands? I’m not sure about the Tikka but I know the Ruger is very purpose based. I can’t just take the action and barrel out and put it in a hunting stock. I recently spent slightly more for a semi custom with a defiant action in 300 PRC because I can use a Remington stock With large barrel channel and remove it from its MDT chassis. I didn’t buy the Ruger precision because their was no real upgrade. Again, I don’t know about the Tikka. Not to get off course as you asked about those 2 specifically, but Howa and Savage make very nice entry level tactical/target rifles with ability to be upgraded Easily. Guess you could buy both and try them out, in today’s gun shortage you could sell the one you don’t like for list price. [/QUOTE]
