The fact that you can take an ADL and glass bed it into a Medalist, and still be under the price of a factory Tikka sporting Tupperware, is one that should not go overlooked IMO......
The fact that you can take a ADL and have to do lots of things to it to get it on par with a Tikka has never gone overlooked. I'm not sure why you think it has.

Yes, but the difference here is that I actually have the 700s in question sitting right here. And actually have notes and targets and stuff showing what they do----right out of the box. Do you?
The whole "700s don't shoot without work" thing gets old. The last half dozen "newer models" I bought all shot great and functioned perfectly.
And the "Tikka is perfect out of the box thing" gets old also. There is pretty much no brand that is perfect out of the box on a regular basis. 25 years of buying guns at a feverish pace has told me so.....
