Have you ever owned ANY of what we are discussing here? And you think a Tikka surpasses a Barrett? Boy you guys are getting spicy in this thread. I want to see the target pics of these rifles driving tacks. At least more so than a Tikka. For a factory produced non custom rifle, I'm sure Tikka will hold its own against any custom out there. Lets see them: GO...... Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style.

Yes, there are differences however, Wilsons improvements are a betterment to the product. Both used production techniques in their building processes.

Forbes from ULA/NULA or a Forbes Rifles stock? I personally own representations of EVERYTHING discussed here other than a Wilson NULA. One has crossed my palms. As I said earlier, it is not a bad rifle. Just different.

But that is purely subjective. Objectively; they were incredibly well-made, light, and stiff.

One can even reach back so far as to thank Steyr for their attempts in early plastics.

Sounds like a personal issue. I prefer the nula finish to the Barrett finish; but I’d throw that into the realm of the subjective.

I think weight and stiffness are both pretty objective - and measurable. Well-made may be a bit more subjective - but I have enough representatives of everything discussed (excepting wcn) to feel pretty comfortable making that call.

The barrett and forbes are very similar (except LOP). The ULA from 1986 feels best to me. Go Bearcats
