Default RE: tikka or savage

First off I am big Savage fan. The savage gets an upper hand from the get go, due to the accutrigger. That will save time and money by not requiring any work in the trigger dept. This will be especially important to accuracy if you are bean fielding.
However, I despise muzzlebreaks. First off they are built to tame recoil. That is not even an issue in this case, there is no real need. More importantly, they severely increase the damage done to your hearing every time they are shot without proper ear protection. Unless you wear ear muffs while you are hunting, they do little more than save you from mild recoil, while increasing the permanently damage done to your ears from muzzleblast.
For that factor alone I would not recomend this model of Savage.
