RE: Tikka vs. Kimber
I'm sure Tikka's are great guns, but just don't accidently drop them on their cheap plastic magazine. If the magazine cracks on a hunt, they would be about as usefull as a table leg.
By the way, I have a Remington 700xcr in .30-06 with a Sightron 3-12x 42mm Big Sky scope that I absolutely love.
