[QUOTE="Paper boy, post: 1969727, member: 110735"] Want the truth, here it is but first, some questions. 1. What do you intend on using it for? 2. What kind of accuracy do you expect? 3. Do you intend on customising the rifle? 1. In the intended use area the Ruger is a decent all around rifle although the tolerances used in it's construction are much wider than the Tikka. They are well known for this. Silky smooth actions on the tikkas 2. The accuracy department, since the tolerances on the Tikka are so much Tighter out of the box accuracy is usually great but, I have also seen some pretty stright shootin Rugers. 3. On Customazation the Tikkas win hands down . You are very limited with Ruger. One mor thought. Ruger uses castings for the Actions, Tikka uses forging in their own plant on the same line as Sako. I know because I've been there on a tour of the plant. Finnally, PRICE. for very little more than the price of a Ruger rifle, you can own a much smoother and in 9 out of 10 cases more accurate Tikka. I have owned just about every rifle manufactured in the free world, some costing thousands! The lessons Ive learned is one of deminishing returns. I owns several Sako and Tikka rifles that have shot with, or out shot some of the best customs out there. Choose SLOWLY, CAREFULLY, RESEARCH, THAN DECIDE. Some othe fine rifles are the new Mauser offerings as well as Sauer. Great stuff especially on a price/performance scale. Good luck on your search. [/QUOTE]
