As said before, get the Tikka andput the 400 to 500 dollars you save on a good scope.
I get such a kick out those who want to talk about the "plastic trigger guard or magazine". BTW synthetic composites have been around long enough you really need to start calling it by the right name.
LOL, good point. They are building airplanes out of synthetic composite materials but gosh darn it they still just aren't tough enough to serve as a trigger guard. If you drop your rifle on a hunt you are just as likely to damage your scope as you are the trigger guardon a Tikka.
