I remember a few years ago I was very skeptical about Tikkas because they felt wimpy when handling them in the store. I finally gave in and bought one after reading all the reports, and I wanted a lightweight gun. I am actually sorry I did. It honestly does outshoot every gun in my safe...Just shot it yesterday and it shot so well that it pissed me off. Maybe I just bought an awesome one, but so far it is the most accurate gun I have ever owned.
