New Tikka Ace

[260284]

I generally agree with you, its like the RPR which sold a bunch but wasn't particular great for any competition or hunting discipline. Tikka's UPR is already a better version for NRL hunter and hunting IMO. This might be preferred by the guys who just shoot a bit and want a bolt rifle and think chassis are cool.

Another thing i didn't notice at first - it looks like the 'game' version uses 5 and 6 rd standard tikka plastic mags which seems like a miss for this application. Why not use the CTR mags like the Target version? If a guy wants 10 rd mags for competition with the Game model he might have to look at dropping $100+ for waters rifleman mags.

The bottom metal/mag well is interchangable. Not sure what the cost is, but you could swap from single stack to CTR mags.

You can swap the magwell in the Game model to accept CTR mags at least

Are the tikka mags all that and a bag of chips? I wonder what keeps them from going to AICS. Or are the ctr mags aics pattern?

My CTR mags feed like butter. I use AICS and CTR mags in my Tikka rifles, the CTR are a lot shorter than even the 10 round MDT mags.

They are an existing part that they use in a bunch of rifles already. Vs AICS they are shorter for same # of rounds. Not AICS pattern but i know folks have modified CTR mag wells to work with AICS. I've seen where people say they feed smoother but also where they say they are less reliable with debris. I've always just used tikkas in chassis that took AICS so no direct experience.

Sans the adjustability features of the Game Ace stock

I’m not familiar enough with all the stock adjustability capabilities of the chassis rifles. The SV has adjustable comb and I believe you can adjust LOP, but not sure since that wasn’t of concern for me.
