Winchester or Sako would be a far more fair comparison.


I do however, like those Tikka lites for the money.

The tikkas cheap but that model 70 featherweight is a damnfine rifle if you can afford it

My Tika 25-06 shot MOA out of the box. After zeroing, I tried 5 different brands of manufacturer'a ammo in 3 different grains and they will all hit within 2 inches of bullseye at 100yds with no adjustments. Shooting the Federal vita shocks 117 gr, the gun shoots better than I can. Braced well, the holes are usually touching or mighty close.

What is cheap about the Tikka's? The one I bought for the wife was not cheap feeling and is extremely nice rifle...they are best rifle for the price.

Didn't say Tikka's weren't good guns, just said they were made cheap. I have two myself, and both shoot well. They have polymer both schrouds, one action length, and I don't care for their synthetic stocks.

Tikka is hard to beat for the money. They may not be pretty, but they will shoot as well as rifles costing more than twice as much.

Tikka, at least you know who makes them.....They aren't a SAKO, but they are made by them

Winchester it seems every year someone else is making them, poor business, poor product....Like another member stated, Winchester was the way to go from 1964 and before. I have a pre-64 what a great rifle

Yuppers.....agreed

I don't even think there is a basis for comparision. The Winchester is a rifle and the Tika is a Wal-martitized Americans excuse for a gun.

Get the Winchester.

The poster above that says Winchester hasn't produced a good rifle since 64 is sadly mistaken. The FN M70 is among the best factory rifles ever produced.
