I was looking at the Tikka when I bought my 270WSM in the winchester rifle. I had just finished reading a reloading report on the 270WSM by Layne Simpson. He did all of his testing with a tikka and a Savage rifle. The barrels were the same lenght but for almost all the loads he tried the Tikka velocty was about 200 fps behind the Savage. Both guns were very accurate. I know thats just one set of rifles but it turned me off a little to the Tikka. I didn't want to wait for the Savage accu trigger but may pick one up later. Can't wait for some good weather and to try some handloads in the Browning. I love the 308 but have been without one for some time. (Due to stupid trades)
