This looks like a pretty decent rifle, was comparing it to the Kimber SS classic in 6.5CM as well, I believe they are in about the same ballpark for price. I have a couple of Kimbers which shoot pretty well, and a Tikka CTR in 6.5 CM, its a tough decision as I like the Kimber rifles, they shoot as good as I can shoot, the CTR shoots as well or better but is quite heavy. Anyone have a thought regards which one to bet the money on for a LW deer rifle? I could just as well go 243 Win as well for where we hunt, no 600 yard shots, but interested in LW and less recoil as a possible gift it to my grandson.
