Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Model 7 or tikka

Ok guys im getting a 308 bolt either a Tikka compact or a Remington model 7
Both are great guns and i know i cant go wrong with either
Give me some pros or cons to help finish decision. If i had enough money id buy both
Tikka pro - detachable mag
REM 7- holds value , but tikka stay consistent
Thanks

Just get a Tikka. Better design, less to worry about: positive extraction, and you know it’s going to shoot well. Less hassle working up a load, or finding something that’s going to shoot well in it. Also no jumping through hoops to get it to shoot well. IE: glass bedding, freefloating, trigger work, etc, etc.

What’s funny is you know Tikkas hold their value well, because if I’m not mistaken, you were the guy complaining/asking why even the older Tikkas cost so much. Or, why are guys asking so much for their old Tikkas, or something to that effect. So there’s that.

Unless you get lucky that 308 Tikka will be easier to find and less expensive to buy. The Tikka is ready to go. But if I found a m7 Magnum in 300 saum I'd jump fast because with that you can load down to 308 or at full value magnum. Which is exactly what I do with my m7 7saum. KISS says t3x ss 308 and go to gettnr done. Mb

I like the Model 7 but I’d be picking up a Tikka Compact.

Tikka for me, best rifle for the buck

I'd buy the Tikka as well. I don't own one currently, but I've never seen one not hold at least MOA consistently. I really like the CTR, and have been eyeballing them on a regular basis.

I talked a more than one person looking for a LH rifle into Tikka. Not one has ever regretted the choice. Last one bought a LH Tikka SL in .308 for his daughter to start hunting with. For the last three years she's been stacking up mule deer and elk with that rifle using 125 grain AB. Her dad has been buying Tikka rifles for his own use ever since.

Model 7.

Tikka is the easy button

IA_fog I sent ya a pm with a place I deal with buying tikkas, prices are hard to beat

Tikka. Those darn rifles just shoot good!

I have both. I don’t like the detachable magazine. I really like the model seven. Yo me the Tikka is a “truck” gun - don’t care if it gets dented or dirty.

The Tikka DBM is a Goat Fhuqk. Pop a Sporter in a CTR stock,so you can drive CTR mags and you are in a good place. Go AICS DBM in the Sporter stock and you are likewise fine. The T3 bottom "metal" and mags are absolutely fhuqking schitty. Hint.

Sevens are tough to swoon,because they typically wear schit/heavy stocks and are tougher to eek longer COAL than a 700. It's foolish to deviate from a 700,due logistics. Hint.

Both are going to be Linda Lovelace throated Sluts and the Tikka is an easier solve there. There's nothing redeeming in Teeker milk jug handles,but they are less schitty than a typical Seven's. Hint..............

Careful, that was almost a Tikka endorsement. Haha

Out of curiosity, have you messed around with mountain tactical mags in any Tikkas?

My only reserve for the Tikkas is the now Al too common detachable magazine. Just a personal preference, but I’ve seen magazines lost or forgotten on a few occasions. I really don’t understand the DM craze for a hunting rifle. Rapid reloads for a hunting rifle seems like a step in the wrong direction.

Mountain Tac' makes some good stuff,but their mags are fhuqking junk. KEY is to abandon the entire Goat Fhuqk T3 "system" and go either CTR(they are real steel and have the COAL) or defer AICS commonality. I drive both. Hint.

8" Teeker 223 Sporter here,with Mountain Tac' rail,handle,knob and AICS DBM(which they foolishly no longer offer). Hint.



Coupla Teeker Sporters,sipping from CTR stocks/bottoms. 223 8" Sporter above,22-250 8" Sporter punched Speedmire below. CTR feed/function is greasy good and they grant 2.600" COAL in 223 and are crowding 3" in 308/Kreed. Hint.



You know Seven's are Dog Schit,when a Teeker looks "good" in comparison. Though you can roll Kiff dice,cross fingers with new McMillan and there are possibilities. Hint.(grin)



If I'm going to stand flat footed and take a COAL hit,it's going to be in something GOOD and pass the Montucky there and hold ALL The Fluff. If I'm going to leave ADL/BDL behind and go DBM,it's gotta be good and the T3's are Goat Fhuqks. Hint..............

Tikka! memtb

Perhaps a better extrapolation,although OEM CTR's and again in 8" 223,as compared to the above 8" 223 Sporter sipping from AICS in it's issued T3 Sporter handle(easy inlet swap). Hint.



Just sayin'..............

Custom Remington Seven. All rifles are just starter kits anyway. Tikka's suck aesthetically and ergonomically.

Model 7👍

Pass the Montana and hold The Fluff,while you pardon my simply shooting it all...and then some. Hint.



Not that Brokedicks guessing,isn't funnier than fhuqk. Hint.

Just sayin'............
