Thread: Hardy Tikka Carbon Stock and Barrel Good deal ?

Saw one in local H&F, carbon wrapped barrel, Tikka action, carbon stock and fancy brake in 7mmRM - $4200!

Not worth it

I thought that was a rhetorical question

Absolute steal. It'll be worth double when you sell it.

look at what else you could do with that money. do the maths.

What advantage does the carbon wrapped barrel really give you? Weight reduction will be extremely minimal I think.

Buy a Tikka and fit a CF stock of your choice, hardy uses Kiwi composites I think, or after what I've seen recently I'd seriously look at Ken Hendersons stocks.

I reckon you would get a better return on that investment if you spent the cash on hookers and blow.

WAY better stories than "yeah, I own a tikka. BUT its got a CF barrel and shit....."

I would do some serious research before spending my hard earned money on something with an HRE barrel on it...

Spend another $8-900 & get one with a proper stock, proper carbon fibre barrel & proper brake...just saying...

This is sound advice

Should have also added, YOU can sell the new barrel & stock to off set that cost

I wonder if dan was using a proof research barrel when he won the taihape long range shoot with first round hits out all the way.
just sayin....

You wouldn't know whose barrel was under the wrap Andy or how many were tried before that one was used.... just saying

$4200, geez that's about 3x more than a Tikka off the shelf.............bet it doesn't shoot 3x better...................just saying

You are being a bit tough on Dan.

On Saturday I fired at Brad's hill-side 12 times with an HRE stainless barrelled rifle and didn't miss it once. You could see the great big holes in the dirt.
