I've been shopping for a Tikka for some time now. Lack of availability coupled with demand, well we all have seen that curve in economics. A similarly equipped Tikka is still cheaper than a Remington or Winchester, comparable to a Ruger in price range. I have been looking at all their lineups and for stainless steel models with laminated or synthetic stocks Tikka has great value seemingly. Only Savage seems to be offering a better value right now or perhaps the Howa/Weatherby Vanguard's.
Right now though, Tikka's are very expensive since there just aren't any! Much to my dismay...
