Good luck JG.


Can't fault your choice, love the Tikkas I have.
Hard to combine weight, trigger, accuracy, smoothness, for the $$$.

One thing about them. They lock the bolt and firing pin.

As a kid everything locked the bolt, and it seemed dumb and dangerous.
Bought one of the first SS 700s, no bolt lock! I was happy.
Until about the 3rd time the bolt either came open or I found it abhout to.
Got a M7, same crap.

Now, the locked bolt isn't just a thing. It is a major feature sought out.


Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
