Thinking about one of these any experience here? Are they worth owning?
Thanks Chris

I have a left hand 7-08. I did their suggested barrel break end it now shoots three quarter inch groups with the 140 Barnes TSX. This is a five shot group. I normally don't do a long break in shoot but I had the ammo and it was fun to shoot anyway. Very smooth action. Some guys bitch about them but I know two other guys that have them and they are happy with theirs.

I shot every one of their platforms a couple of months ago. Out of the box they were accurate and good triggers. A couple had a little creep and a couple were not smooth in feeding - actually they hung up. Overall, I enjoyed the couple hundred rounds I shot in them... I'd like to do the same with all the Tikka's.
Pretty much all rifles are stupid accurate no a days... just depends on how much you want to spend.

I’ve got a mesa in lefty 6.5cm.
I like it. Shoots well.
I like the thin grip on the stock. Others don’t like that.
Sucks they up charge the LH models.
IMO you get a lot of gun for the money.

If you buy one before the 30th of Sept and register it by Oct 7th they have a 350$ rebate. Check their website for more details.
Was contemplating a second on because of the rebate... Agree you get quite a bit for the price. Even with the upcharge...

Thanks for the heads up on the rebate. Been contemplating a 6.5 PRC in something. Was going to go Tikka CTR, but they seem in short supply right now in LH.
