If this is a hate thread, it is a pretty lame/tame one.
I am not upset in the least
Well...your incessant criticisms and slams certainly indicate you don't "love" Tikka's.
I do not have the Tikka experience of JGR.
And I don't need to hunt with a Tikka for 10 years to know what I am looking at.
"Experience" would give you 'some' credibility IN a thread entitled " Tikka Experience" .
Since you don't have Tikja experience...why would you be so negative OR even comment ?
What's the saying about "open your mouth and remove all doubt"?
....yeah, I'd say you are a hater.
