I've never seen a Tikka that didn't shoot extremely well.
They are doing an exclusive run for me this year. I had them do 500 rifles. 125 each...8" twist 223, 260 Remington, 6.5x55 and 308. Blued rifles, fluted barrels. They wouldnt do stainless because of the exclusive for Sportsman's Warehouse. Oh you bastard.... I wear my Whittaker t-shirt everywhere now that it is summer. I don't think it's doing you any favors.

I can't help but sorta like it.
Travis Thanks. Thinking I'd like to try one. The LA for a SA cartridge hurdle would be easy enough to get over. Now if I can just find a couple of nickels to rub together... I hate everybody else's Tikkas but I love mine. Travis

On the CTR, it's a 3.4" action for a 3" magazine.... not exactly a 3.7" Rem 'long action' with a 2.8" mag box. And you get: solid bottom metal, a 10rd mag, a Sako TRG barrel that's can ready, a pic rail, sweet trigger, etc. to compensate you for packing that extra .4"......
That's the huge boon that folks look past when criticizing the action length.... you get a 3" magazine.... that makes the .260 the titties, and gives the .308 all kinds of room for the high BC pills.
The whole CTR concept is well thought out.... only the $180 for an extra magazine sucks.

Is the CTR the only model with a 3" magazine?

Somebody had their head outside their ass when they came up with the CTR.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Thanks. I was thinking light one since I already have a heavy 260. But a CTR is probably nicer and more suited to hunting than the one I have...

What'd it cost you to "save" that money on mags?

What does CTR stand for? I must have missed it in the postings.

After reading this thread, I'm sure I need another Tikka.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Only reason you guys group like that and hit the steel in those vids is the wind tightening up your shooting; and the Bud.
