    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.

    How does that 270 go on the deer? Looks the part. Do you know the weight incl scope and can?

    85 Carbon light in 6.5 Creedmoor before I sold the Z8.
    It now wears a Z5 but wish I still had the Z8.

    ... I did not realise the TRG was a switch barrel design. That is very cool, and explains a lot more about the price tag!
