Tikka barrels made by Sako.

I read somewhere that the barrels come out the same box on the assembly line and can be fitted to either a Sako or a Tikka in no specific order.

I prefer Tikka to the 700. I know the 700 is a good action but the rifle needs finishing if to get the best out of it. That's not necessary with a Tikka.

As for triggers - how long have they been making 700s? And they STILL have a rubbish trigger on them! I cannot understand why they don't just go to Timmney or similar & get them to supply the trigger unit as they seem incapable of making a good one themselves.
