tikka's are junk nothing but a economical version of a sako if you actually hold one and compare it to an actuall sako you will see all the cut corners. like a plastic trigger guard, plastic end cap on the bolt and one action length for all calibers, Long...... they may be accurate but deffinately were not built for durability.

Like said before most agencies are using LE type Remington M700 in the P, PSS and LTR variations. I dont think you would have any trouble with the Savage 10FP though its not a mainstream gun that most would choose but it is however an accurate and quality rifle that is marketed towards LE agencies and do offer all the desired features that would make it a practical weapon for LE use.

You might have better luck asking other officers in your Dept. for opinions to see what they might recommend. rather then askin on here since most the folks here are just biassed towards what ever they have and for most they just regurgitate what others have said through the he said she said syndrome which is what mostly goes on here along with the Ford vs Chevy type, if ya know what I mean? In other words you have to sort through horse dung to get good info here anymore.
