Absolutely, aluminum costs more than steel yet many were convinced Tikka was somehow trying to save money? You will never find a steel recoil lug in any of my tikka's.

In the future the original tikka action with the small ejection port is going to be sought after by those interested in building a gun that will stack em.

I very seriously doubt that the new designed T3X that is a result of consumer request will ever shoot as well as the original. I fully expect to see a long list of complaints in the future.

A person could always install an aluminum recoil lug but you will still have the compromised action.

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
