They're lighter than my Tikka 695 but, just don't seem as well built to me. I can't warm up to the all plastic magazine or the checkering (panels) on the wood stocked models. Also, I want a SA cartridge to be on a SA gun. I have no doubt that they shoot as good as everyone claims. Plus there's not a cal. they make that I want; that I don't already have at least one of.
