Love it. Accurate, light, and dumps deer in their track with 85 grain tsx's.

Rifle.....Hmmmmmm...I'd go with a Kimber (you already knew that) or a 700 Ti...if you can find one.....or a 700 Mtn rifle. You could always do a faux ti. Whatever it is, I'd require at least a 22" barrel. Tikka's great....but it's a long action....right? Sent from my Dingleberry Handheld Wireless

I learned a lesson and you may get out cheaper letting NULA build you one and a NULA definitely would hold value better. Sent from my Dingleberry Handheld Wireless
