All good - you filled some gaps I left, as well.

Maybe between us, we pretty well covered it.

I will add that I've run an A7 in 243 and it has shot everything like a Tikka so far (which is a high praise, indeed!)

Have yet to see a report of an A7 that wouldn't shoot...but I'm not sure I've ever seen a report of a T3 that wouldn't shoot, either - and there's a bazillion Tikkas out there. The A7's are still the new kid, so we'll see.

I do kinda like having "Sako" on the barrel, though, even if it's just a poor man's version...grin.
