[QUOTE="morgaj1, post: 1969937, member: 114166"] My experience is with the Ruger American and Tikka T3's, not the precision rifles you are looking at. However, I think it may still be helpful. My primary hunting rifle is a Tikka T3 Forest in 30-06. It is the least picky of any rifle I own, shooting many handloads and factory ammo at 0.5MOA, in weights between 150-220gr. My son has a Ruger American Compact in .243 that is the most accurate rifle in my safe. He loved it so much that he now has standard Ruger American in 7mm-08 and has killed more deer and hogs with it that I've lost count. I loved my Tikka so much that I bought a T3x in both 7mm-08 and 300 Win Mag. Both shoot lights out with handloads and factory ammo. I still prefer the Tikka's over the Ruger Americans for 3 reasons: trigger is much better, the bolt is much smoother and the factory Tikka stock is better quality. These are all subjective and are strictly my opinion after having shot both. However, the Ruger Americans that my son has are real shooters and he loves them. [/QUOTE]
