EVERYBODY comments on Tikka out of the box accuracy.
Like "I've never seen a Tikka that doesn't shoot."
Model 70? Not so much.

You also don't hear many say, "boy this Tikka fits me like a glove. I really like this stock."
Camp is where you make it.

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

Are the Model 70 EWs really much more of an accuracy gamble compared to a Tikka T3x or Sako A7?

I have a Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather SS in the 270 and it is far and away my favorite rifle. I did customize it with duracoat in matte black because the stainless steel was a little shiny for my liking in hunting situations. Great stock, aluminum bedded, fluted barrel, free floating, accurate, etc. etc. I expect my next rifle with be another Winchester Extreme Weather for sure. I bought mine in 2009 so the stock is the older version, but it is stout and sturdy and I have zero complaints.

Ha ha.. Or the new composite decking boards... That would be an even closer comparison... Hey, at least it probably won't warp that way....

Sadly, such is the case with most affordable options these days. I will say I never felt the need to put a timiney in a Tikka. Yo Dave spring yes.
