Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Great Deal on a Tikka Varmint Rifle

I've always been partial to European made rifles - specifically Sako and Tikka.

Of the N. American makers, I think Savage did a great job shaking up the domestic manufacturers with their Accutriggers and better accuracy. There are also the barrels. It would be nice if all rifle companies made actions with screw off barrels that could be as easily removed and installed as Savage. No doubt there would be some resistance to this, but I don't think gunsmiths would see a drop in business over that.

That's why I buy Shilen aftermarket ones.Their Savage drop ins make short work of switching barrels. Not to mention less cost and much less down time for your rifle.
