Default RE: Tikka VS Sako

Tikka and Sako are the same company. Sako is the parent company, they bought out Tikka a number of years ago. Both rifles are built in the same plant in Finland. The reveicer and bolt are different between Tikka and Sako. Sako is a 3 lug bolt where as Tikka is only a 2 lug bolt. Thus the need for different bolt and receiver. The barrels are the same on both guns though. The Sako has a nicer finish compared to the Tikka. The accuracy will be similar between the Tikka and Sako. Beretta did buy out Sako last year. The only thing that they have done is raise the price, other then that, the guns have not changed.
