or just get the tikka,caution i'm i big fan,and when you get it break it down and take barreled action outta the stock and eezox the heck outta it. never had rust issues with my tikkas,either blued or ss,since i do that. really never had an issue before but the eezox is supposed to bond with the metal which i believe it does as when you do eezox a blued gun and make a booboo and scratch it the metal won't accept cold blue that i've witnessed. a tikka t3x in 7mm rem mag would be a hard choice to beat for most things here in north america minus the big bears.
