Why do so many think that Tikka's suck?

http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/4935450/1

Guess I'm not the only one that thinks they SUCK!!! :tup:

no good info there either, main complaints are its too accurate, and has a plastic stock. whaaaaa. haha. More for me!

Some only see what they want to see, they don't listen and wait to talk.

HOLY *censored*, somebody hand this guy a mirror.

I have a Tikka T3 in 300 WSM.  It shoots just fine at 500 yards.  The Elk don't like them.  Dropped right when it was hit.

I want this in the lite hunter stainless version...  may be my next gun purchase....  I love the Sako/Tikka rifles...   
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Thats what it is.  I love remingtons, but you can't beat the price to quality ratio of the Tikka or at least you couldn't.  Don't know what there going for now.

If I had $1k to spend on a gun, without optics, I wouldn't buy any production gun, I would build a semi custom. 

I've put together sub .5 MOA Savages for less than $500 when using a Criterion barrel.  Bump it up to $650 and you can have the action gone over by Shap Shooter Supply. $750 and a little patience will get you a full custom barrel which should shoot in the .3 MOA range. You could probably have the gun to want assembled and ready to shoot in less than two weeks.

I'm partial to Savages, but if you want to just buy a turn key rifle, they don't offer anything too interesting in 7mm mag. There was a long range hunter in 6.5x284 close on the ballistics.

  Im all ears.....detail out how you can build a gun with an after market barrel for 500 bucks, or even 650......

I don't want to hijack your thread, so I'll start a new one. It just takes some careful shopping. ;)
