"Tikkas are the perfect rifle for those who know not of rifles. "
Snip...
I often choose Tikka. I also have a very extensive background working on .gov/.mil weapons systems, including weeks and weeks of periodic training at various defense manufacturers facilities, not to mention being in charge of some very extensive armories.
Plus, as both a designated defensive marksman, as well as an M24 (remington factory trained) armorer, I might have the practical experience on both sides of the armory bench to completely disagree with your post. But opinions and experiences vary.
The punchline is that I would take a box stock Tikka over a box stock Remington 700 pretty much every time.
Happy hunting!
Cheers!
THE CHAIR IS AGAINST THE WALL.
The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world.
