drover Campfire Tracker D Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 6,369 Idaho	Originally Posted by IA_fog 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 I have owned and put thousands or rounds through model 7's, 700's and 600's since the early 70's and every one of them required some bedding work, trigger work and load development to shoot as well as my Tikka's have out of the box with nothing done to them. Tikka's are "plug and play" - mount a scope and start using it with no drama involved. As far as modificaations to the Tikka - they are mostly done because of a personal thing not because they are necessary to the performance. drover 223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers. 24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.

So they shoot. So do all of my model sevens. Dog I rescued in January

They will make a tall Doug Fir wilt with their fugliness, their receivers look like they came out of an extrusion machine, they have a funky recoil lug and they steal their barrels from Daddy (Sako). Therefore they will shoot. I don't think I'd ever buy a Model 7. Too far off the beaten track for me. I go with a M700 SA if I wanted a .308 B L M - Bureau of Land Management

Hint.............. Lmao. I'm sorry, but that was actually pretty good. Rem model 7 is a giant loser. Tikka is hands down better, but a 900 dollar plastic waste of money. Put your money in a remy 700, chop it to 18 or 20, thread for can, and grab the aics mags from hawkins, then you'll have something.

Some folks have a very strong opinion on this, both ways. Like my M7. But I've had issues with the bolt opening. Tikka for me. Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
