What you say may be true but let the guy enjoy what he decided to purchase. For the money, a Tikka happens to be the most accurate out of box rifle I have seen today, never heard any complaints from people who own them. I purchased one myself in 25-06 and I also just ordered a Sako85 hunter/ssin 300WSM. From what I hear and witnessed at the range, I wouldn't be surprised if my new Tikka out shoots the 85, we'll see.
