The tikka rifles have a cult like following with good reason out of the box a nice crisp trigger smooth bolt like a greased pig they shoot well and they sit right at that price point where there not expensive but there not cheap either. That’s the good stuff everyone likes.
But I have found the tikkas not to shoot any better than any of the other rifles at a similar price point there chambered long and have short mag so you can never load the rounds out to the lands cause the mags limit your length one length action and plastic junk mags.
If I know a guy is going to just shoot factory ammo the tikka is one of the rifles I’ll recommend as a good out of the box shooter. If I know the guys are going to hand load or start swapping parts I’ll never recommend the tikka. These rifles do well for there price point but there performance has not ever lived up to there reputations. I’ve had 2 tikkas and a sako tikkas are gone sako got a barrel and a stock swap.
