Tikka the best ???? I guess to each his own.
I DID say "production rifle" but, I guess I should explain what I meant by "production rifle". Really, all rifles are produced, so all are production rifles in the strictest sense. What I meant is that a Tikka is the most dependably accurate hunting rifle, built on an assembly line, that can be bought, IMO. We have proven it time and time again. I know several people that had deer rifles built by custom rifle builders and spent many thousands on them, and were never satisfied with the accuracy even with tailored handloads. Then, they bought a Tikka and it outshot the customs right out of the box, without weighing 10 pounds. Tikka guarantees MOA accuracy but I've never seen one that didn't shoot much, much better than that, and with factory loads. The latest example that I saw was this past Saturday afternoon. A brand new Tikka outshot a Gradous custom rifle, right out of the box.
Marks_21, have you seen a Tikka that delivered worse than sub-MOA accuracy in the hands of a good shooter?
