Tikkas dont suffer any of the ejection problems that the Sako 85 and possibly the A7 have. Cases hitting the scope. I have experienced this problem with the 85 first hand - I hear that some of the A7s do the same too.

I cannot believe that there are guys out there who still think the Sako 85 is the holy grail��..

As for the synthetic stock on the T3 - pretty well indestructible - unless you throw it in the fire!
