Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Tikka owners, quick question...

I traded it off today so it doesn't matter. Seemed entirely too clunky for a hunting rifle. Seems like a great near miss.

I'm glad it works for a lot of people but life's too short to dick with clunky stuff. There's a reason nearly everyone else does it another way.

BTW yes it's true military rifles use a magazine to speed reload. That also doesn't apply to a sporting rifle unless you carry extra magazines. It's still faster to reload a blind magazine with 3 rounds than to pull the clip and load them one at a time and then put the magazine back. Not that speed matters. Just clunky in my opinion.
