RE: RIFLE SELECTION
I have the Tikka in 243 and Abolt in 270.Both are great shooter(less than 1"@100 yards).Fit and finnish goes to Abolt.Price goes to Tikka.Tikka has great tigger out of the box,I had to get a gunsmith on the Abolt but now tigger is great.This is first year with the Tikka and killed two dear,one at 120 yards,DRT,and one at 475 yards that went about 75 yards(bad bullet placement).I have never missed with the abolt making kills from six yards to 275 yards all one shot kills.The Tikka is about a pound lighter.I would and do hunt with both the only reason I would pickup the Browning sooner is because of the 270 vs 243 altough both will kill if shot placement is correct.Shot placement has more to do with killing than caliber or bullet.Get a gun that feels gun to you and practice.
