RE: Browning or Tikka
Sorry, no experience with either but I've drooled on both for awhile. Isn't this kind of a "duh" question. I don't see how you could go wrong with either. If I had the $$ for a new gun I'd be trying to make the same decision right now. I think both of these guns have the smoothest bolts made today. I'm a little more partial to the Browning because I think it is a nicer looking gun. Both fit me well, but the Tikka seems to be a little lighter (could be good or bad). Either way, unless one has a feature that you really don't like or one you prefer take either one.
