[QUOTE="Rabbiddog, post: 562539, member: 28668"] I bought my Tikka cause it was already light. I wanted it easier to maneuver so I had a local gunsmith cut the barrel to 16" from the bolt face and installed a Vais muzzle break. I also bought an EGW Picatanny rail and Warne rings for a more solid scope platform then had a friend Dura Coat it since it was a blue rifle. Its a 243 and I shoot a 75 gr vmax powered by 42gr of H414 and the muzzle velocity was chronographed @2850 and it shoots sub 1/2 in groups. Fur damage is usually minimal with the exception of the last couple that hit bone and opened softball hole in the victims. All told I spent around 1000$ on it and love it. Down side is with the break you need hearing protection but I built this rifle for coyotes nothing else I use electronic muffs on stand. Hope this helps you out,Also the Tikka in my opinion has the best adjustable trigger on the market hands down over any and I mean any factory rifle. It is a clean breaking assembly with no creep and the bolt works flawless easily the smoothest operating rifle on the market. Frank [/QUOTE]
