Just a suggestion, if you like the Tikka but not so much plastic and prefer a 3-position safety then consider a Sako A7. It has very similar lines to the Tikka, excellent Sako barrel, more metal parts, 3pos safety and the mag release has kind of a safety to prevent accidental release. I have an A7 in .30-06 and bought it instead of the Win Featherweight I had planned to get. The stick fit me so perfectly I had to get it. Excellent bolt and trigger from the get go.
My next rifle I wanted 6.5x55 but didn’t want to spend so much so went with a Tikka T3Lite. Very nice shooter and 85% of what the Sako is but about half the cost.
