So is the small and fiddly ejection/loading port. Not picking a fight; I agree on the quality of those Tikka barrels but the rest of the rifle is a series of compromises.

A bit of weight and ?? I would own neither so I am agnostic here but curious on the real delta between the two for the delta $$$. Conduct is the best proof of character.

JG already has a Tikka 7-08 and he knows how well it shoots.

Therefore, buying another 7-08 is a gamble. Starsky, lets go shooting sometime. I will bring a Tikka, you bring whatever...I'm setting my gong at 700 this weekend, should be fun.

Well at $2k+ here for the Patriot vs $600 or less for the Vanguard / Howa I don't the difference is enough. But I don't doubt the Patriot is superior in every way except price. The Patriot looks the sort of rifle to inspire pride of ownership too.

Same measurement I got from Nosler as well. I'm not really interested in Bergers though for this rifle. Probably going to stick with 140 AB's. It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
