I want to see a pic please when you're done. I'd love a short barreled Tikka with open sights.

Will do! Should have it sometime next week, I went with the necg ghostring sight with standard aperture and Corlanes in BC is doing the drill and tap for a hooded williams base. At some point Ill be setting it into a Wildcat composites stock as well.

Stupid question here, but I see people mentioning the long throats on the tikka rifles, do most people when loading for hunting not go to cartridge base to ojive? Would that not solve the problem of how deep or shallow the throat is cut?

The long throat allows you to load to a longer COAL before you hit the lands, giving you an increase in case capacity.
