If only you loved tikka as much as you love leupold, you wouldn't be bemoaning triggers and barrel length.
What YOU don't accept, is that repeating the same thing many many times in the same thread is just turning the threads you post on to shit.I don’t “love” either and now I don’t even own either until my MK4 comes in.
I appreciate and understand things that work and the value in them. As I have said multiple times in this thread I think that for $600 the Tikkas are fine rifles, but their premium rifles are not worth what they are charging for some bolt fluting and paint that others have even said in here and have not been attacked.
People just can’t accept it when someone points out the flaws of their brand. I know someone else is going to quote this and go “derrrrrr ThE LeUhhhhhPoLd ThReAd”
Those looking for short barrel options in a comparable factory rifle with consistent accuracy & a good trigger might take a look at the new Bergara Stoke & Sierra. The Stoke is a compact model but comes in a similar weight to the Tikka Lite but with a 20" barrel threaded 5/8x24. Stock comes with spacers but is also compatible with Rem 700 stocks so lots of options.
Sierra is a slightly heavier barrel in regular size stock with adjustable comb. Chambered in 6 CM with 20" barrel. I just rebarreled a Tikka to 6 CM so love my Tikkas too but these two new Bergara options look solid.

Yep, supposed to be an open sight up close and personal variantT3X Ranahan. .223 and .350 legend only I believe
I saw 6 pages of "New Tikka" and thought YES!!! FINALLY TIME! All to read this crock of crap for the last 20min...lolMan, this has just turned into a fantastic disaster.

Say your peace and move on. If that doesn't convince someone 1) big deal! 2) you are a poor communicator 3) no one agrees with you, or 4) all of the above.

Yeah or the guy who cries in every thread about how he’s mistreated as a non residentReminds me of posters repeating “drop test” over and over in every scope thread.
Maybe it does work? But oh no the DTM won’t let it go. If I had to put my money on one of the guys winning NRL hunter every weekend with a Leupold or one of the DTM killing a deer @long distance my money is on the NRL winners.Kinda like the same posters saying my gold ring blah blah blah

The irony runs thick in this thread
That and I’m disgruntled today
Tikka is missing the boat not chambering the 6 Creed. Heck now that the 22 Creed is Sammi it would be sweet if they would chamber the 22 Creed also.
I’m simply pointing out the irony… you would be surprised to know there are things we agree about. I just call em how I see em and try to not show biasMaybe it does work?

Do I say I’m mistreated or that non res are losing a bigger percentage of the pie every year? And it’s a waste for non res to help residents out?
I will admit I beat those threads like the DTM does in scope threads.

RE the 7PRC Chambering what news / conversation lead to this info?New Tikka T3x Roughtech superlites at Shot Show 2024, it also sounds like Tikka will be chambering in the 7mm PRC soon.View attachment 661997

Yea I’ll do better. I’ll try to only post 5 times in those threads instead of 15I’m simply pointing out the irony… you would be surprised to know there are things we agree about. I just call em how I see em and try to not show bias
Yes if they offered a 6cm I would be buying a new one rather than waiting to burn a barrel out on what I have now.
