I just looked at the first Tikka yesterday that I had seen.I was surprized it looked and felt so much like a browning.Only thing I didn't like about it was the same size action fits all.I was interested in one in the 25/06 cal but it doesn't come in tht cal either.Over all I liked the feel and looks on the tikka might have to rethink caliber and get one later.Was told they come in the wsm cal too.
I have a 270 wsm browning and it has been the most accruate out of the box rifle I have ever bought.I don't have the brake on it but got the sims recoil pad and it shoots without the recoil for me.It is the stalker /blue barrel with composit stock.
