Thread: Explaining Brands

I agree with gadgetman, look for used. So great deals out there but get someone who knows what they're looking at to help you.

For me tikkas are more hype than anything. Despite all the stories I'm yet to see one that shoots like people claim. They are a budget rifle, just like other budget rifles, nothing more nothing less. See a ton of them at the range, and they seem ho hum. Howa are worth a look, and the non-axis Savages are great bang for buck. I would back them against a t3 if you want to talk grouping. Vast majority of modern stuff is more than adequate accuracy wise for hunting anyway.
