I own several Tikkas. They all shoot well or as good as I am capable. Accurate barrel, good action. I do my own trigger work on them and easily get a crisp 2#. Blued you can buy a used one for $400. Add a pair of Talley lightweights and your favorite scope and you have a pretty accurate rifle for $450 + scope.

Now for the lipstick- would it be a good investment to buy an Edge and swap it around to my various Tikka scoped actions??
