Thread: Comparison thoughts

Does anyone think it's kind of odd that a Tikka is the same price as a Ruger American?

no not odd - those early tikkas just not appreciated enough - many hunters think they are heavy and a fuddy duddy from a bygone era- ignoring the fact they are a very well made extremely accurate rifle with a very smooth action - so many new young hunters just want plastic wannabes -

stumbled over the tikka in a dark corner of a shop where most wouldnt even notice ......wood/blued ,the ruger i cold probably get cheaper if i push a little.....really more interested in any reliability issues......having said that im also tempted by a new cz 557 which is a little bit more coin

p.s omly munchkins think im a big bugger

Could be coincidence, or deliberate. If the Tikka has been on the rack for a while maybe the asking price was reduced to make sale more likely.

gladdens me old hunters heart all the praise for the tikka 595 and 695 yes classic firearms and even better some have very good wood if you do panic about weight then a composite stock will be available I have had two a 595 in ,222 got two 7 shot mags for it really good goat culling set up and won the Forest service shield at the DOC shoot with it - and had a 695 in .270 wish I had never sold it but the Sako 85 that replaced it was a very nice rifle
