RE: Thompson Prohunter or Tikka?
Not sure of what the prices are for the prohunter in the US but here they close inon the 1000 mark so for that kind of money and I wanted a single shot rifle I'd buy a Ruger #1 and never look back. Of course if you may need a ML then the TC is a good choice. I'd be trying my darnest to get my hands on the new Knight KP-1 to compare though. Looks like a doosy!
