[QUOTE="JoeMan04, post: 1969933, member: 113407"] Recently pondered this exact question. Was looking for a 6.5CM and had narrowed my search between RPR Gen III & Tikka Tac a1. In speaking with a number of folks whose opinion I hold in high regard along with folks who have owned and shot both, was leaning toward the Tikka. Managed to find a shop that had both so was able to handle/fidget with both. I chose the Tikka as it felt, to me, like a better made rifle all around (ie bolt was smooth, folding stock locked securely, magazine release felt good, etc...). Certainly not knocking the Ruger but I was more comfortable with paying a bit more and getting what felt good to me versus wondering if the dollars saved were worth it. During break-in with 140 Berger Hybrids, produced a 5 shot .300 moa group @100 w/H4350. Tikka barrels are notoriously slow I’m learning but this is a target gun so hot-rodding it is not necessary for me. Happy with my choice, good luck. [/QUOTE]
