I am convinced that the Tikka is the way to go if I go with the LH bolt rifle. I sure liked the look and feel of the one I looked at in the Scheels store. I know the Remington pumps well As I had two in the past. Many people won,t believe the accuracy of the Remington pump. The one I had in 270 was the most accurate rifle I ever saw. I fired a three shot group with 130 grain Nosler Ballistic tip of 3/4 inch at 200 yrds. I didn,t believe it so I put up a new target and did it again. It was a gun I had taken in on trade and the guy who traded it in wanted to buy it back for his Nephew so like a fool I sold it back to him. Thanks all again for your reponse. Good hunting.
