It took me a while to get on the bandwagon, unless Sako goes bankrupt I will buy more of them.

Make my Tikka a Model 7 stainless or CDL in 7-08. With a new barrel.... a new stock.... some ‘Smith Work.... and a new trigger.... it might be as light and accurate as a Tikka too.
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......

I got smart this year and sold my magnum Tikkas and replaced with the exact same rifles chambered in the 308 family.
We shall see how smart that was next year.

Someone find a Tikka good customer service thread. I usually handle any of our Tikka issues if/when they rarely arise. I don't use their customer service, nor do I expect my customers to do so. If you have a problem with a Tikka you bought from us, I resolve it. End of story. I fight the battle on my end and I get to make you smile.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

I've been beating a blued Tikka T3 in 25 06 for 4 seasons now. I can find no fault in that rifle period. Accurate and tough. I'd highly recommend a Tikka to anyone. Best bang for your dollar easily.

I sold all my Tikkas and stopped watching TV.

Love my T3s. Used to be a Remington guy. Only own two of those now. The old and good ones.
T3s are lighter and always shoot great.
But I also love my Kimber Montanas.

You can only read about success so many times before you have to see for yourself what all that rave is about! I went with the twisted tikkas
223 8 twist with a SWFA 10X is by far my favorite
6.5X55 8 twist with a SWFA 6X is nipping its heels
Both in Stainless
From Varmints to Moose nothing is safe inside of 1000 yds

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
