Its funny to read some of the replies about Tikkas. ALot of the negative' s come from people who dont/or havent owned one. I have a tikka stainless/synthetic in 308. There is nothing wrong with the stock and yes I can slide paper under it i.e. fre floated. the barrell soesnt touch the stock anywhere and it is even. yes it has a plastic mag, so what. It sticks i nthere tight and I have never accidentally pushed the button and dropped it out. It is not easy to do because they didnt make it easy to do. One less part to rust. The bolt is as smooth as any i have ever worked. The trigger is the best out of the box trigger i have ever fired. The good part is it shoots damn good, the only part that really matters.


Here is what some gun rags said about tikka:
