You both will be more than satisfied with these guns. Mine is SS/Synthetic, 30-06. Shoots really well, weighs less than 6.5 lbs, trigger is excellent. I'm telling you though, you owe it to yourselves to get Talley rings and bases. Gary (owner) really has something there. Not only that, he stands behind everything and will not rest unless you are 100% satisfied. They build rings and bases for guns that cost 10 times what we spent for these Tikkas.
You'll thank me later......
