You can also read on this website 1000 posts of excellent Tikka accuracy and reliability.... for every one post on lugs or bolt shrouds. I've read ten thousand posts on broken Rem. bolts.... or extractor woes.... or shoddy accuracy... or out of whack chambers... or faulty triggers.... or whatever. I still use them.... so do you I bet.
Every rifle is a series of compromises.... Tikka compromises in the right places.
You act as though you've run a few Tikkas.... I'd love to hear/see what your actual field/shooting results were.... and how your shroud broke.... and your recoil lug failed....
What two rifles would you suggest the OP build.... since one rifle for both is obviously so uncivilized?
How much performance would be gained by doing so?
At what cost?
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
