Thread: New Tikka & Sako

So, perhaps these posts are just an opportunity for folks to communicate to manufacturers a bit of a wish list or pre market opinion.

I stuck my neck out last time chris floated the udea of a switch barrel sako. Said wouldn't be nice to have one gun in 223 308 and 7RM. But no, 308 was the training calibre in the new TRG.

Anyway, i've changed my mind now and think it would be better to have a set of single calibre rifles in say rimfire 223 6.5x55 and long range magnum. They each need different scopes and you don't want to be dismantling rebuilding and rezeroing your rifle for each trip or event.

So what I'd like to see in a new tikka or sako is an economical matched set of single calibre guns that range from rimfire ( .22RF for target and 17HMR for hunting) .223 then medium and long range (eg 300 Norma Mag) with similar stock and trigger fit. For Sako brand, plastic needs to be eliminated. The Finnfire 2 was a step in the right direction. Stock options should include classic wood, laminate and CF. Plastic fantastic should probably become an evolutoinary dead end - a failed concept - although the sako grip panels were nice, maybe could be offered on a budget tikka.

Ha! That's my rave.
