Probably have to get used to the panty raids. Big boy has a Tikka. DBM'ed it as I recall. It's OK to do that to any other rifle though. Tikka mags suck with 75's. So does a 700 ADL unless you monkey with the spacer in the mag box. Then the sucky trigger that takes 2 seconds to adjust. Oh, then the "ergos" because it's hard to fit that big noggin behind the stock. Speaking of the stock, it sucks too, don't forget. And the loooong action which sucks all the soul out of it, almost making it inoperable and waaay to heavy.
Blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda.....
5 gallon bucket of chum. Wait for it....wait for it. 5 more pages, minimum.
All good reasons to hate on the Tikka. I guess, if you are a midget with short arms. That extra 1/2" length of the action is just too hard for some to deal with... You know, they make chipmunk rifles for those that cant run a man sized rifle...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I find Burns to be a slight notch above the AK gnome in the pallatability department. A little of him goes a long, long ways. I just ignore the thread killer, especially since he's been let out of his cellar.
I've always wondered how being a perpetual PITA bodes well for the company you own, work for, or whatever Burns does when you're trying to sell the hunting public something. At least Stick has a sense of humor. And, if you ask politely, will give you useful information without stroking his own ego. The orange man, not so much. Is that about the spray tan on the face?
