Well it looks like two threadseach slanting a different way. When I get my money together and it's time to buy I'll go to the store hold both guns and probably end up flipping a coin. Although this is the first I've heard such strong comments on the Tikka trigger. That could be a deciding factor, but I don't thing the Browning trigger would be much behind.
I've always been a lever action fan, but the smoothness of bolts of these two gunshas wonme over. I still might get the BLR some day just because I love that gun as well. Some times I feel like a fickle woman trying to pick out a pair of black heels.
