I have one, solid rifle, personally the trigger on mine is a little on the heavy side, detachable magaine is nice although not the easiest one to slap in there real fast.
The trigger issue is an easy and cheap fix, with a Timney trigger spring that costs about $20 and 5 minutes of your time to install it. If you know how to use a screwdriver you can do it yourself. My A bolt trigger is 2 1/2 lbs, before I swapped springs it felt like at least 5 lbs, although I can't say for sure because I never checked it with a scale.
Mine's a 270, non stainless, no rust problems but then I don't let it sit overnight without oiling it after a day of hunting in the rain. I don't think I've found a load that it won't group well.

Thanks I'll look into that. Mine breaks at about 4.5 pounds, not terrible, but not very good either. I have the stainless model, Im going to try some different loads for it this year as I'm not very satisfied with how it groups with feeral premium nosler accubonds.I have one, solid rifle, personally the trigger on mine is a little on the heavy side, detachable magaine is nice although not the easiest one to slap in there real fast.

Why A versus X bolt?
Note this is going to be a gun for new hunters to use and a gun that some of my clients will be shooting. So I am not wanting to spend a whole ton of money on a gun, that may be more the used and abused :chuckle: Every one of the tikka's we have shoot light out! Everyone that I have been around that shoots one says the same things.
Carp I'm gonna use your luepold statment . Tikkas just plain shoot well and I have not seen one that dosn't . I think a tikka in .270 would be tough to beat for a back up gun ! why mess around ?
And if you get a Tikka in .270WSM it is even better.
:chuckle: I already have a couple tikka's that are personal guns and this is by no means a backup gun for me :chuckle: You guys should know I am a gun Slu*. I have been very happy with the tikka's but got to looking at the browings the other day and liked them as well. It's more about what will fit a general group of shooters. Not looking for a gun for myself I have way to many of those already :chuckle:
Killbilly the 270wsm is one of my favorite cartridges! I already have 2! and am bidding on number 3 as I type. It is just to much gun for younger shooters in the lighter weight frame and also beginners as well. A bit to much recoil for a lot of my first time hunters.

Bobcat,
The frame on my .300 is much larger and the barrel longer than the .243. I'm guessing my .300 is a full 2 lbs heavier than the .243 and about 6" longer. Never had an issue with recoil.

I will be at a gun show on Saturday and have a rifle I am taking down there. I might think about trading it in on either gun. So it might just depend on whats sitting on the tables :chuckle:
