I've shot many tikka rifles as many of my mates have them, and whilst they're good rifles and very accurate, I'm not a fan of the synthetic stocks they come with, and I'm kind of wanting something else, that also why I'm not thinking about a sako as the difference between them and the tikka's are not worth the extra $$.
what sort of quality issues are you talking about with Remington, you're not the first person to mention this to me?
also anyone know about the new Model 70's assembled in Portugal, I've heard they're possibly the best M70's ever made? what does anyone else think of these? what is the M70's accuracy like? sub-moa?
