It seems based on the results that the poll splits along the same line that divides most of the other threads on this forum: the Tikka vote likes out of the box MOA accuracy but doesn't care as much about plastic vs. wood/metal and the M70 vote cares about accuracy but might sacrifice a smidge of out of the box ease for all metal components, walnut, etc.
I've followed this thread closely and am surprised
I have 2 Tikkas, T3 Lite SS (2003) & T3X Lite SS (2018) and BOTH triggers are FANTASTIC (emphasis). No creep,
No travel, No over travel, No adjustment needed, - Perfect.
Has something changed on the 'newer' Tikkas?
I have NO criticism of my 2 Tikka rifles. I have other rifles I like TOO but the 70 Classics are too robust.
My XTR is slimmer - trimmer - AND lighter. I have no need for CRF so that is moot.
I'm just relaying my experiences with my Tikkas. I'm not rating them as # 1 but I haven't found anything wrong with them.
