LMAO.
Comparing Tikkas to Pre64s is a conversation that should just never be had.
Only a newb would even bother. And I don't want to hear about modern manufacturing, yada, yada, yada. It just tells me you don't know your azz from a hole in the ground as far as rifles are concerned.......
If directed at me, I probably don't know much about rifles nor did I start a pre-64 / Tikka comparison thread. Though, between the two in factory format, I would choose a synthetic Tikka over a pre-64. With that said, Bob's custom M70s are super nice, though!
