Don't much care for Tikkas or Howas, although just about everyone I know that shoots either, loves 'em to death. But I have abided M788s for the past 40 some years. Go figure?

First Tikka I'd ever seen was an O/U shotgun/rifle combo that a buddy had and that was many years ago. First I'd ever heard of them and we all agreed his Tikka was light years ahead of the O/U Savages at the time.

Hey, if something suits you fine, so be it.


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
