RE: Tikka vs Ruger
Herman, great groups.
Seems like since Al invented the internet that group sizes have been going down down down . Maybe its my imagination. I don't see a lot of people shooting Tikkas but when they do I take notice and I am not seeing these great groups everyone raves about, I see groups one would be proud of at times but see the same with a number of comparable makes. .They are generally good rifles if you can get past the plastic magazine and floorplate and the plastic bolt end cover. Found out the other day this thing is not even needed since the bolt shroud is metal and apparently works well. I think a guy at another site cracked his by using a bore cleaner or degreaser or something along those lines. My question is a.) why make a cheap bolt cover ..how much money do you save b.) why make a plastic triggerguard and magazine ? If they made the durn things out of metal as well as the triggerguard and magazine there is a very good chance 1 or more of them will find their way into my gun safe. Maybe someone should contact Beretta and tell them this(have fun trying).
