Tikka..........I think alot guys snubbed their noses at them 20 yrs ago........
I know that I was one of those people, at least initially. Though I've never owned one, I have long since change my opinion of Tikka rifles. Looking forward to trying one of them out one of these days.
I was one of "those guys" too but the LH T 3 6.5x55 I got my wife has been the most accurate gun we have in the house, has the best trigger and has a slick action. It costs a lot less than a couple of my custom guns too while out shooting them. I am about 99% sure a LH T 3x in 300 WSM is in my future sometime this year...............
Would love to get a LH CTR 260 too but we will see,my Savage 260 shoots pretty good too.
