@Jusepy I own both a Howa and a Tikka and they are honestly both great rifles. The Howa is a stainless in a walnut stock and the tikka is fluted plastic stock version. I don't think there is really any difference in accuracy between the two. The only things worth noting are the bolt throws (Howa 90degress, Tikka 60), which may limit the scope size, or height of the rings you chose on the Howa. The Tikka's are all long-action = more weight, whereas the Howa in .308 is a medium size action.
If it were me, I'd buy the Howa and spend the money saved on a better optic![]()
