diyj98 - Have you owned any Tikka with a walnut stock? I' m looking at buying my first one. I like the look of the wood, but I imagine over time the synthetic will hold up the best at least on the surface.

I' m with you about the quality and tight patterns these rifles are tested at from the factory. 1" groups at 100 yds for the price. I don' t know any other rifle at the price out of the box that is that accurate.

Would just like to hear from some about wood vs. synthetic Tikkas. Thanks
