Who said a tikka were a disappointment? I have one for hunting and it's the best factory hunting rifle for the money period. However, he mentioned Ftr which I happen to currently hold two state titles in. There is no straight factory rifle that is competitive in these matches. Pick a action, have a cut rifled barrel mounted on it, put it in a long stiff stock or get used to losing. Tikka's are good donors to start with because they usually don't need truing and with a 10$ spring have a really good trigger.
