Buddy has the Tikka, and totally loves it. I am assuming that this would be a one time purchase. Save a little longer and go with the Sako 85. Another option is to check out the Weatherby moa. They are reasonably priced, and Weatherby's warranty is second to none. I had problems with one of my old Wby's and all that it took was a phone call, and the parts were in the mail.
