Post by: Phantom Gobbler on June 15, 2010, 10:39:40 PM: 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!

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.
