Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Tikka Experience

Perfect timing.
My grandson is a south paw and I want to get him a 243 synthetic stainless. It seems Tikka/ American are the only options, and the American has a 12.5" lop if I get the compact, 18" barrel version.

Curious how easy it was to shorten the LOP on the Tikka, and what is the new LOP? I would want to start at 12.5" for now, but probably need a spacer in 5 or so years.

BTW, The tikka looks to be $200 more than the Ruger American.

Thanks

Allen
