I was wondering if any of you out there use Tikka riffles? I am thinking about getting the 300wsm Lite.

Any conversastion?

Yes, I've got a Lite SS in 25-06. IMO, it's a great rifle. The trigger pull weight is easily adjustable and the action seems smooth as glass (compared to a Win mod 70 I have). I purchased it to try as I really love Sako's and these are like the cheaper version of a Sako. The Lite SS is quite light weight so I would assume that one in 300WSM would have some healthy recoil. My 25-06 is a pushover though. Good luck.

there's a lot of posts on this very subject if you look them up. Most of the comments are very favorable

Just got to the top of any page and click the link that says "search the forums" then you can look for tikka in the gun section

The only problem I have seen lately is that many I see in the store with wooden stocks are showing channel drift, like the wood is green. Fortunately, I have not seen that on the 308 that I got for Little Biscuit.

I bought one last month and it drifted a little the first two times out. While cleaning it, I noticed that I didn't tighten the scope mount right [:@]and it's all better now. I think it has the best action, accuracy and trigger for the money. I love it. It is very light however and will get your attention with the recoil.
