The Raven: Unknown Munitions Tikka Clone action coming soon?

[SteveAndTheCrigBoys]

Suppressors - $999
Scope - $999
Action - $999

I'm sensing a trend...

 

[Dobermann]

The three I have…. I won’t say what I have actually seen in comparing.

What?? Why?

(Feel free to PM me if this is somehow controversial ...)

$999

Gucci Tikka!

~ $800 for a proven stainless Tikka action, DBM, trigger and magazine?

or

~ $1500 for an unproven Tikka clone, DBM, trigger and magazine?

Not trying to be critical and applaud UM for bringing this to market, but hopefully there are some features on the Raven that help offset a near doubling in all-in price.

Honest question here, and I have more Tikkas than anything else. If going a custom action/build route; why would I want a Tikka clone at $999 vs an Origin. The Origin is probably a little less street price.

The three major drawbacks I have with my Tikkas are 1, limited stocks.
2, limited triggers
And 3, limited prefit barrels

Yes, I understand that there are options in all three categories, but the options are much fewer than what you see for Remington 700 style actions/clones.

The Tikkas are a great factory rifle, but it feels like some of that is lost when the price is going to be the same or more than any other comparable custom build.

What am I missing about the Tikka/Tikka clone action that makes it much more desirable?

Thread 'Ice/snow comparison between rifles'

Dec 22, 2022

I have been asked by multiple people to do an ice and snow reliability eval between rifles/actions/triggers. Tthis is not a “test”, it is just a view at what generally happens. Doing a legitimate test requires more rifles and consistent conditions than I have. So…


The rifles:

1). Tikka T3 in KRG Bravo chassis

2). Sauer 100 factory

3). Howa 1500 Alpine factory

4). Remington M7 with TT trigger and Bansner stock

5). Winchester Pre 64 M70 factory

6). Tikka T3 factory

7). Sako TRG 42 factory





This will be done in multiple steps, worst case working back back to easy...

Yes, but tikka actions will still be more affordable. Are these going to be $250 better than what a factory Tikka action is if not it kind of missed the mark imo.
