[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 3050308, member: 8394"] Tikka is sakos equivalent to the ruger American to the Hawkeye. They went hey we need a budget rifle because we're competing in the mid-tier space, optimized it for accuracy and modern machine types and voila you got the Tikka. Was such a good idea everybody else did the same thing after about 5 or 6 years and now we have a bunch of modern optimized budget bolt rifles. In the American way we decide to start putting barrels custom stocks and better Triggers on the budget rifle. A lot of times it doesn't make any sense but it's an American cultural phenomenon, billions of dollars of car culture tells us we like to put turbo charges and high-end rims on Honda Civics. But I digress. Upscaling a mid tier trim of a budget rifle owned by a company that sells mid tier rifles under another brand makes little sense for the parent company. Far easier to let the aftermarket do its thing so you don't have to have a pile of models trying to facilitate every little Nuance that the mid-tier market would want. [/QUOTE]
