threaeded barrel Tikka - Bass pro starts em at $1050 or $1100. The sales price w rebate comes out at $875 for threaded barrel Tikka.This is incorrect. They actually start at $750ish so the price delta between the two is much less. IMO, you get a substantially better gun for not a lot more money with the Tikka. The rugers are fine for what they are. I had a gen 1 and sold it but it was a decent shooter although the mags, trigger, and stock sucked.
For clarity - the $750 version is not threaded.
It is all about what you like. Enjoy your Tikka.
