Hi 358,

Tikkas and Sakos are Made in Finland for finnish hunters. May be you don't know but Finland in winter can be as cold and wild as Alaska, not the south for sure but when you get up to and above polar circle life is hard and rifle are used as tool. Finnish are tough guys who know haw to use and make firearms. They stand well! As all man made products they can sometime fail but they are a least as good as the best of the other brands.
