magshooter1 - +1 on owning both the Tikka and CZ550FS in the Swede. One might be a tad heavy BUT where else can you have the panache of a full stock rifle in a classic 6.5mm caliber AND the the weather resistance of the Tikka T3 Lite Stainless. One just won't do so you need both - IMHO. Homsteader
My thinking exactly Homesteader. I've had the 550FS since 1999 IIRC. It shot well with both factory loads I tried and shoots really well with my recipe. People can say what they will about the hogback stock but it positions my eye just right for the scope. The Tikka, well it's light and ready for foul weather and should shoot very well if my past experience with Tikka rifles hold true. Their younger brother my Steyr SBS96 Forrester in .260 Rem. may get jealous.
