Thread: Comparison thoughts

The Tikka will probably appreciate in value (if you look after it). Even though the Ruger is a good rifle, I don't think that would.

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
