I have both rifles, 3006 tikka, 7m08 sauer 100 xt....and also just added a mauser m18 6.5 prc to the herd. All really fine pieces of manufacturing. All have elite triggers and barrels in the $450-$650 price range. All shoot well beyond my capabilities. The two German rifles have longer lop. All guns have reliable detachable box cycling. The German bolts are just as slick as the tikka but closing operations will require breaking-in as they may require effort to close at first.......tolerances are tight. I like em all.
