Personally I'm headed in the opposite direction of New......2016....... I just acquired a Sako Finnbear L61 270 in excellent condition. I topped it with a 3-9X40 Conquest and personally see myself hunting this rifle for a good many years.  Shod Just put an HS on my '69 PF 270, DD's, and a late 80's glossy 3X9. Weighs a svelte 8#14oz. Hoping it'll pass for primitive weapons season... ![[Linked Image]](http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx210/16bore/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsjpj6wxmk.jpg)

Used to be where I hid my play money, until I started hanging around here!
Been empty awhile.

Any new rumors on whether there will be something big from Tikka this year? I have a few Tikkas, and wouldn't mind adding another, but I'm starting to wonder if this was just a baseless rumor... Google is coming up short on any leaks or new mentions.

The full line is still on their site, which is slightly odd. And the Sporter now shows a can on the front.
Only thing I could dig up online, was hurry up and wait.......for the Europe show.
Best speculation is that Tikka will be completely dropping it, and Sako is introducing a budget line to replace it.
Who knows. Maybe it is all rumors and they will decide to carry on as is. Now, BerettaUSA, our importer is another story. Whatever happens, if Beretta doesn't import, that kinda screws the US market.

Maybe "new and improved" will mean no more one size fits all action length......My biggest gripe with the current rifle, also the abundance of plasteek is a turnoff.............I am looking forward to getting a look at this new model.................Hb 'New and improved' means easier and cheaper to make improving corporate bottom line. What would happen if there were no more Tikka rifles tomorrow. For me it would be just another day.

Anyone know the share of Tikkas in the US vs the rest of the world? Something tells me the Europeans don't give a schit what we think.
Dunno

So is a top loading DM something new for Sako? Sako It's not new. My Sako 75 .260 can be top loaded which separates it from a Tikka. I still like my Tikka though.
