if you store a tikka with the bolt closed and on safe, it's nearly impossible to get the gun to malfunction.

pour water on it, dump it into a 30 below snowbank and it will not bobble even the slightest. you must have the bolt closed and on safe to engage the sear. not engaging the sear invites a malfunction.


sand and grit are impervious as well


whereas it's not hard at all to get crf to get stuck and jammed. see above about extractors.. montana's triggers will eff up quick as..

if a once in a lifetime tag is on the line and temps and snow are a factor.. no crf for me.
