For those that have or have had one or both, which do you prefer? Torn between the two right now. For me, the pros of the RAR target is its available in SS and takes 10/22 mags. Cons would be weight. Pros of the Tikka would be low weight and the ability to swap to variety of stocks/chassis. Cons would be not available in SS. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

While both have their positives and negatives, I would expect greater accuracy out of a Tikka. Maybe I'm being bias, but that's what I would expect. That's probably why surviving this self quarantine in a house with one wife, two dogs and three daughters, I will be buying myself a Tikka t1x to celebrate.

I had this Ruger https://ruger.com/products/americanRimfire/specSheets/8334.htmlIt was less accurate than my 10-22 and wouldn't reliably eject spent brass unless the bolt was pulled back vigorously. The target version may, or may not be better. This has the same trigger as the target, which was good. Same action, the barrel may be better. But the Tikka I replaced the Ruger with is a shooting machine.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Having owned two of the standard RAR's and now owning a Tikka T1x there is no comparison. The Tikka shoots any ammo, including inexpensive bulk ammo, into half-inch 5 shot groups at 50 yards, the RAR's would not do that on their best day even with match quality ammo.

Had the rar target. Have the t1x. No comparison in accuracy.
