I think looking at the buy sell section does not give you a very fair indication of how "good" tikas are. If you im assuming you have looked at the tikkas for sale on there, they are some pretty cool pieces of kit and not exactly your standard tikka t3 haha.
The trend of light hunting rifles is not losing its gleam in my eyes, look at all the customs being made were getting the lightest rifle is the main goal.
Tikkas do have a lot going for them, they offer a pretty good accuracy guarantee and they do shoot very very well. have a look on trademe, a new tikka costs $1200ish and the cheapest 2nd hand stainless ones go for like $900, pretty good resale. Vs your mauser type actions that you can pick up for $400 easily, or howas and weatherbys that go for $500.
