Yes but Tikka’s are a basic tool they do the job and still isn’t as nice as a Sako. There’s a special feel that handles so nice in the hand with a Sako, and a lot of great features eg pic rail, twin ejectors, locking double stack mag, safety/ bolt button, top load magazine while in action, close bolt on empty chamber while magazine is in, short bolt lift and they look so good.Quote:

You can't polish a turd but Sako can rebarrel one.
... I did not realise the TRG was a switch barrel design. That is very cool, and explains a lot more about the price tag!

Hi Bluebaiter222, #11 is marked a Vixen L461. It was interesting comparing the three sako's we had chasing sika last week, one was called a Vixen/Hunter apparently mean't for the american market but ended up here in some numbers. The V/H has a slimmer barrel and the cheek piece has more of a monte carlo roll to it, whereas my Vixen has a straighter comb. Lovely rifles to carry and use. I'll put another photo up of my Sako Finnbear 30-06 later on. here is the small 8 that charged in to a single call and was shot at about 6 m.Attachment 249138

My 30-06 finnbear L61R. Wonderful thing, I just wish it would shoot straight. Forum member James Passmore had a go at shooting it and we have decided it needs a bedding job. I also think i'd enjoy shooting it more if it was suppressed, and I have a spare 30 cal suppressor in my cupboard, but I think it would be a shame to chop the open sights to get it threaded.
First world problems, I know.
A1 in 223. Had original 223 barrel on it when I bought it moons ago but had a bit of wear, so it got fitted with a stainless MAB 1:12 barrel & ODL can. Since photo, I've had it fluted.
Loves 52gr Targex.

Funny thing I have only shot with original scope and rings and ifs not good.
I have put on some optis and a high-end scope to check soon.
If not grouping I will be in the same situation as you.
Did you have someone in mind for a bedding job?

Yes, well mine used to be owned by dannyb, and from reading his load development thread on this forum for the rifle it doesn't look like he got it shooting right either.Quote:

Ken Henderson stock, not sure what it weighs, has skate board grip, needs replacing I like it. Previous own did it as carbon fibre is slippery when wet.Quote:
