Yep awesome guns, you got a great deal too.  I love mine, you would be hard pressed to find something more accurate for the price.

You scored on a very nice rifle setup.  My nephew has a blued version in .270 with a Trijicon scope and it is sweet!  I have a blued version in .30-06 and it is very accurate and light to hike with.

Good luck and let us know how it shoots!

I had a Tikka and traded it off to my kid then I upgraded to a Sako A7.  Both are great shooters but I don't think that the Sako shoots any better groups than the Tikka.  You're going to love how that Tikka shoots and it is a pleasure to pack a rifle that does'nt weigh a ton.  I'd say you did get a good deal.

That is a smoking deal!!! I have one in a 7mm Rem Mag and love it. Its a very accurate, lightweight rifle and the action is smooth as glass!

Yeah. I don't have one but my wife does. She has the blued version in a .308 caliber topped with a burris fullfield II. The action is one of the smothest I have felt on any gun. Also it is deadly accurate.
