Well calling the guns factory junk maybe wasn' t the right choice of words for you to use. If you think that the Tikka is a great deal for the money I have to disagree. Platic trigger gaurds, plastic magazines, still has to have trigger adjusted, doesn' t shoot any better groups than my Marlin MR7 Bolt action. If you want a benchrest rifle then that' s what you should buy. Besides, buying American made products and doing a little work to them is better than sending my money overseas.
