[QUOTE="Smurky, post: 1969629, member: 88892"] I have the Tikka in 6.5 no regrets, it’s a great rifle. The things I don’t like, the very high rail without elevation. It’s b1tch to remove. Same with the stock, If you want to change the stock a thread locker/adhesive that’s same as used on the rail is used. Doesn’t seem to release with heat or water And as I said is a B1tch to remove. I don’t really like the handguard but it’s OK. I had the barrel swapped after many 1000s of rounds and the profile at the chamber is non-standard to fit through the handguard. Since the barrel change (benchmark m24) it shoots as good as factory maybe a tad better. The RPR is so easily modified with prefit barrels etc it does have it’s advantages. I’d probably still buy the Tikka, maybe the CTR and put it in a KRG Bravo chassis. Out of the box I like the Tikka better. PS although expensive the Tikka mags are GREAT! [/QUOTE]
