Doesn't surprise me since Tikkas have the same barrel that Sakos do. I don't own a Tikka, but I do have a couple of Sakos and I've been very pleased with them. I handled a Tikka in a store once and the bolt was slicker than any I've ever handled.

I recall a particular day at the range a couple of years ago. There was this guy there shooting a Tikka Deluxe Whitetail Hunter in .300 Win Mag. He was shooting factory ammo and he showed me his targets. All groups were nice little 1/2 to 3/4 inch triangles. I was impressed to say the least.
