"Is there no end to this unjust prejudice against the Red Rider and his Peacemaker?" ~Ralphie

Ooh fuuuuuuudge.....

Except I didn't say "fudge!"

The Tikka is to Sako what the Cadillac Cimarron was to GM.

You never know what some will shell out for a POS when properly associated with a big name, quality brand, unless you try......

You guys are a lotta fun.............

Good analogy, kinda like you trying to act like Stick.

Sorry, but I don't try to act like anyone.

Does Stick also anger you with facts and his refusal to use junk?

Did you mention the fact that your $4k rig beat a bone stock Tikka? Lemme guess, you're on the 270's are gay wagon too.....

My POS Tikka Superlite 270 (yep) smacked the chit out of a doe last weekend. Now I'm eating tenderloin...grin. Not everybody can drive a Ferrari, but I bet I don't go hungry! Saw a buck step out in a field the other evening, and that SOB turned and did a 180 back in the woods. I'm convinced his sixth sense told him I was getting ready to pick up the Tikka...grin!

"It's a handsome and well-made rifle with a slick action. Accuracy was very good, as seems to be a trait of Tikka rifles. This can be seen in the fact the 1999 British Long-Range Benchrest Championship was won by a Tikka Continental in 6.5x55. Group size was an almost unbelievable 10 rounds into 4.4 inches at 1,000 yards. Anyone looking for an accurate out-of-the-box varmint rifle would do well to consider a Tikka."

What a POS the Tikka's are.....LMBO

LMAO as well. 2 Different rifles made by 2 different companies.

Do you even know the difference between a Continental and a T3?

Obviously not.

Tikka used to turn out some decent rifles. That was before they became the budget line of a former competitor, who was also bought out......

Good morning sunshine!


Tikkaclaus is coming........to town!!!!!

Performance means nothing...... it's all about 'cool factor'... and 'my schitt costs more than yours.'

If you don't spend $3k.... it doesn't matter how good it shoots.... or handles... or kills... it's garbage.

Got a Tikka CTR in .260 on the way..... can't wait for $2kmuchgun to show up this summer and whip it's azz.....

I love it

And how are the elves this morning?

Papa Elf has been very busy....

It's really, really, not about that at all. But you seem to want to make it that way.

I told ya. But ya won't listen. Your lips are flappin' at the speed of light, but your ears unable to pick up sound. I have rifles that cost $300-$7000. I use them all.

That said, I am able to see each one for what they are. I don't tell everybody my rifles are the most accurate out of the box, post internet groups, or make outlandish claims.

And once AGAIN, I never said a word about Tikkas not shooting well. Quite the opposite actually, if you read.

So where does that leave us?

Would you care to take a jab at how I feel and why? Because apparently I am not fluent enough in the English language to convey my feelings in a manner in which they are accurately received/understood.........

What you got goin' on?

Modified Talley's for all the good little girls and boys.

Cool. Why do they have to be modified? Mo' better contact?

Never liked the way they looked sitting on the dovetail, so gave them a little nip and tuck.

Yes, I fully agree. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of the dovetail, and looks like a$$.

Cool thing is, you can get scope even lower, if you wish.........
