So a tikka you can spin on a new barrel pretty easily for another caliber.

If you have a Blaser. For a new caliber it’s 1600 for barrel. 400 for a scope mount. And 1000 for a new scope. So 3k for every new caliber you add.

The main appeal is the caliber conversion and the straight pull action.

He shot a mil surp( k31 I think) and prefers that style of bolt action.

Well. You’re mind is made up.

I love my Blaser. It’s awesome.

Buy the Tikka and put $5000 in an IRA instead of buying an R8. Starting at 18 and with no other contributions he'd have over $100,000 and a mountain of just as dead animals when he retires.
