It looks like the featherweight may not have a accuracy guarantee for what that's worth, that said they are glass bedded from the factory, and have plenty of reports on them shooting sub MOA.
Tikka's are great guns, but you can tell they have done everything they can to make the gun as cheaply as possible stopping short of compromising accuracy and action smoothness, really cool from an engineering stand point. But when you look at the cost saving measures in the design (one size fits all action and magazine, the round receiver with no milled in recoil lug and no top feed-able magazine I struggle to see why they cost as much as they do.
If I looked at the receiver, stocks and bolt design of a disassembled FN made Win 70 next to a T3x and nobody told me pricing I know I would be expecting the Win to be maybe double the price of the Tikka and closer to a Sako 85
I actually fear the model 70 may end up being discontinued again... I cant see how they are getting much profit out of them at the prices they are sitting at.
