I have a Tikka T3 lite stainless 308. Love the rifle. My problem is with the service. I wanted to mount an EoTech for hog hunting on a texas trip. Tikka makes a Picatinny rail that mounts to the weaver screws. I was told three different times by different reps that the rail was in stock. On the sixth day after ordering I check my order status and discover that the rail is on back order with no date listed. All parts and accessories comes from Finland. Like I said the rifle is great. Just hope you never have tohave it serviced. Gunsmiths are hard to find because of lack of parts. Good luck

If your going to spend 500.00 or so dollars on a Tikka or Ruger,why not upgrade from those two and spend 100.00 more and get a Remington ?? 90 percent of Bean poles are built on a remington action for a reason...I will let you figure out the rest.

Tikka.
If you like a mauser action and wood, get a CZ.
