I am kind of concerned with the closed ejection port on the tikka. I am sure it works fine or they wouldn't use it, but it's enclosed on top. Seems like there is more room for failure to eject. Not sure thou...
Is you savage 10 a plastic stock? Ive had problems w/ the older inj. molded stocks because they were too flimsy, they would shoot ok if the frontbag was placed very far back but the wood stocks tend to be a little more stable, the american classic 7 mag I had, was very accurate accutrigger is very nice too. Again, a short action chambering doesnt make much sense to me in a long action rifle. How about the CDL model 700 or model 7 in 308?
