I have a Tikka T3 SS in 243 Left Hand. Best rifle I have ever owned. All factory ammo, four different types, shoot MOA. My handloads go 1/2 MOA. I have done nothing to the rifle but adjusted the trigger myself down to 2 pounds. I have had two Remington and three Browning centerfire rifles and my next purchase will be a Tikka even if they were the same price. Not as pretty as the Browninig but smooth bolt and better trigger. No need to even bring the Remington into the conversation, sloppy actions and terrible trigger.
im not a remington man but my 721 rocks!it aint sloppy and the original trigger works fine.maybe you were referring to the 700?
