Default RE: Temperamental Rifles

On the plus side: The most accurate rifles that I have owned were the Tikka White Tail Hunters. One in 30-06 and the other in 7mmRemMag. The 30-06 shot tighter groups, but then I have to admit, I was trying to push the 7mmRemMag, in terms of MV, to the upper limits. When I kept the 7mm at the same MV as I had the 30-06, they would both shoot one hole clovers at 100 yards. This, with no tweeking of trigger or bedding. The only place that I am critical of that Tikka model, is in the plastic bolt shoud on the back end of the bolt. If Tikka would replace that with metal, I could recommend the Tikka even higher.
