RE: Tikka
Interestingly enough I just bought that very gun. Dropped a Leupold VX3 2.5-8X36 Silver scope on it using the supplied rings. Fit perfectly leaving about a 5mm clearance. Haven't got to the range yet but hope to soon. I'm thinking this will shoot as sweet as it looks. .25/06 is a great caliber. Good luck in your purchase. Post how it does for you.

RE: Tikka
Tried some 100 gr sierra SP wednesday and didn't get them to shoot 2 good,picked up a box of the sierra match in 100 gr.Shot 11 different loads today with them and 10 groups out of the 11 were under an inch at 100 yds.The best powder so far was R-25 and Imr 3031.Want to try some R-19 and R 22 next time.Below is the four best groups,think it did pretty good for a new rifle.
