[QUOTE="5RWill, post: 1435555, member: 98561"] Pretty much this. While there is nothing wrong with a Tikka if you want custom go custom. There are a multitude of options out there for an action and they're getting more and more affordable. I.E. the Bighorn Origin and ARC Nucleus both fully featured actions that are moderately priced. I know it might come off presumptuous (not my intent) but outside of pulling a Tikka T3 223 varmint for a trainer, i can't think of a factory rifle i would own. I'd rather go custom every time to get exactly what i want. Does this cost more money? Obviously the answer is yes at base cost. Feature for feature by the time you spend customizing a factory action you're basically there. While the Tikka doesn't need truing it still runs about $750 or so once you find a donor, get a steel recoil lug, 20 MOA rail, decent bolt knob, metal shroud, etc. It starts adding up fast. One caveat is that you can take the factory tikka trigger and add an after market spring to really have a very nice trigger. [/QUOTE]
