Late to this party but if I were in the market for a rifle, Tikka would be my choice.
As said by many: Butter smooth action, good trigger, accurate out of the box and I way prefer a detachable magazine for my hunting.
My sons and grandsons have five of them now, all T3 lites in stainless synthetic for hard core rain forest hunting. You wanna look at it or hunt with it?
We do replace factory rings and screws. They seem soft and only good for one tightening.
