Tikka barrels made by Sako.
I read somewhere that the barrels come out the same box on the assembly line and can be fitted to either a Sako or a Tikka in no specific order.
I prefer Tikka to the 700. I know the 700 is a good action but the rifle needs finishing if to get the best out of it. That's not necessary with a Tikka.
As for triggers - how long have they been making 700s? And they STILL have a rubbish trigger on them! I cannot understand why they don't just go to Timmney or similar & get them to supply the trigger unit as they seem incapable of making a good one themselves.
Because they probably save .50 cents on each trigger building it themselves. I guess it is cheaper to pay off lawsuits,lawyers and have your product trashed then doing it the right way. Remington has nice designs(except triggers) and has created great cartridges but otherwise are run by imbeciles and major league ones at that.
