I recently bought a Tikka WH in stainless/synthetic in 308 win. Previously I had the same caliber in the Remington bdl walnut blued action. The two rifles do not compare!! The tikka outshoots the remington hands down, plus the action is smoother than greased goose poop on a hand rail (that' s pretty smooth!!). I also got the tikka optilock scope bases and rings with the rifle......talk about a slick design!! Very solid and positive hook up, plus the rings use a polymer insert to cushion the scope inside the rings. Overall, I rate the tikka very high, accuracy is excellent, and I love that palm swell!!!!!
