I also have a handful of tikkas and really like them. As far as outta the box don't do nothing the tikka is a better buy, I think. I know people will argue but that's my opinion. I think the tikka barrel and trigger are hands down better from the go

Easy to start shooting longs if you have a hankering.. You want to start customizing, 700..
