    Hi Vanpire,

    For the money you won't beat the (guaranteed) out of the box accuracy of the Tikka! I've owned 2 now and both have shot around .5 MOA with factory ammunition without any modifications, though you will probably have to try a few brands/weights of ammo to see which suits the rifle best.

    I shoot custom built remingtons back in the UK with Nightforce and Swarovski scopes and hand loaded ammunition which are extremely accurate but the .270 Tikka T3 with Leupold 3-9x40 I'm hunting with here places bullets almost on top of each other at 200M and ALMOST makes me wonder why I spent so much money on my rifles back home.

    Of course a lot of it comes down to what you want to spend and what feels right, but if you go a Tikka you won't be left wanting in the accuracy department!

    Matt.

    My 9mm is a CZ so we will see what they have to offer in the rifle department
