Well it took an absolute liquidation of most of my extra toys but I succeeded. It will be so worth it! Called in every favor I had in the industry but got this overnighted to my FFL last night. I hope now that i can help him stack up animals like cord wood.

Couldn't find an American rifle? Other than Savage it is pretty hard to find a left hand stainless rifle. Besides the Tikka is a good gun.

Wow, what a gift! Good on you, Sir. I hope he uses it for a lifetime.

Shame to purposely order a box of Flinch,wrap it up and poke a kid's name on it as an Xmas "present".
Purty dirty trick.

I just asked him if he could have one gift from Santa what would it be, he didn't hesitate...he named this exact rifle. It's going to be great.
