I'd buy a Tikka and spend the money on glass.

If I bought a Tikka, I'd re-stock it anyways. So, it's basically a wash. I'll go 700 and upgrade over time.
I know there's some Tikka lovers on here, but I'm not one of them.

Last one - miss this one, now owned by another campfire member:) Next one currently in the works will be similar except a Bartlein 2B barrel. Jon Beanland built, BDL Classic Edge in olive & black splatter, worked factory trigger, Kamfeld bolt flute & bolt knob, side bolt release, action lightened, Brux #3 1-9",fluted & finished @ 22.5, , Leupold DD's & scope, 7 lbs 3 ozs. Balance was perfecto IMHO.

1st Gen Ti 7MM-08, factory except for the PTG aluminum bolt shroud/firing pin. Here's one more. Classic Edge ADL, Brux #3 1-9", fluted & finished @ 22.5" Jewell, Talleys, Leupold Mark 2 3x9x40, Ti fluted bolt by Kampfeld. Jon Beanland built, 7 lbs 4 ozs. It shoots:) That's exactly the way I would build a 7-08 as well. I'll bet it shoots too.. Any pics of the side bolt release ?

This one shows a little better - Karl did both its just on the black rifle I can't get a good picture. I like having them on my 700's.

X-VERMINATOR Whats the scoop on your bino cover? It's just a simple Neoprene cover. I found it at Gene Taylors Sporting Goods in Gunnison, CO. I needed something to protect the lenses during transport since the Leica issued lense flush cups broke off long ago...Works great, comes off when hunting, stays on when I'm not. X-VERMINATOR

Oregon,
Any reasoning why you choose 22.5" over 22"?

Having handled Frank's rifles, I think he has the balance equation down. They feel great.

Any reasoning why you choose 22.5" over 22"? No real practical reason - I just like it that way.
