Outstanding gun right out of the box... It would be my suggestion not to get sucked into any short magnum cart... If you are going mag get the real mag... Price of SM will eat you out of house and home + they are hard to find in the outback.... Your choice of an 06 is a good all-around safe bet + the ammo is reasonable... My all-aroundchoice would have been a 270 and my second choice for an elk/moose/bear gun would be a 300 Win Mag.
You will really like your Tikka - I did also purchase and extra magazine for a quick switch if I might need one - but man they are an expensive piece of plastic...
