Roger that... i haven't really priced anything lately, i bought my tikkas for 550-600 when i had them, and i remember seeing some sako A7 roughtec pros for cheap not that long ago, don't know if any are floating around.I guess I don’t really consider the tikka as much of a budget gun as they used to be. I’ve seen those Ruger Americans brand new for 350.00, that’s a budget. Tikkas are over 800 dollars now. When I got my first tikka, it was a stainless t3 lite and it was like 369.00 at sportsman’s warehouse. A few years later they were in the 550.00 range then 3-4 years ago they went up to 800.00. Now that make those dolled up models which are like 1200.00
i don't really consider a Tikka a budget rifle either.... i don't have any now, but have had several, and all have been excellent... i'm sure i'll own another, haha. a super lite in 25-06 would be fun... if such rifle exists
