I’d go the fluted one for the extra $100, buying a tikka ya must be after a lite rifle so might as well make it lighter..
My 2c on a suppressor, I wouldn’t. You’d need to cut 5-6” off the barrel to fit the big magnum suppressor to make it friendly enough to carry in the Bush.. then the performance you’d get from factory ammo wouldn’t be far from a 7mm-08 which you’d be better off with...?
I’ve got the fluted tikka 7mm mag and got it lite as I can, no suppressor or noisy brake, it used to beat me up quite a bit when first using it at the range, but many rounds later Have learnt to manage the recoil and it’s a breeze to shoot, And when shooting animals I don’t notice no recoil or noise... minds elsewhere I guess, nice to carry around the hills as a walking stick too being lite..
That’s my opinion anyway
