Thread: Sako v tikka

Nice condition, I find the 75 timber stocks too clubby in the hand. The 75 synthetic and tikka’s fit is better for a smaller person and better pistol grip for smaller hand, but still a nice outfit.

Anyone would be extremely lucky to have that as their rifle. With youth type loads the recoil won’t become a problem and it will still kill like gods hammer

when she reads old Philip Holden books she will think Dad is the Man for buying her a sako instead of a soulless Tikka

Sako for first Rifle? Do you want to Adopt me

A very small annoyance to me in regards to Sako’s was always the tapered dovetail mounting system.
Very good rings etc are available to accommodate that setup , but when a manufacturer uses a proprietary type mount ( Ruger is another ) it puts me off a bit .
Stupid reason to be hesitant and unwilling to purchase I know , but for some reason it is a consideration that goes through my mind .
Tikka’s “ one sized action to rule them all “ is another thorn in my sock, but for some reason I can live with it easier.
For full disclosure - I own four Tikka’s and no Sako’s

Sako all day Buzz. I’ve got quite a useful 260 carbonlight. Remember it?

another vote for sako, i hate with a passion the tikka magazines.

How come the budget setup Brads?

Buy the tikka too. Win win.

Personally, I prefer the stock shape of the T3 and T3x to Sakos. The thinner pistol grip suits me better.
@MD. My Tikkas are definitely not "soulless". Both are personalized and very charismatic.

The rubber Sako use for recoil pads seems to intensify, not reduce, the recoil.

I like the Sako stock for of hand shooting - prone, not so much.

I'd prefer a Tikka.

Have you thought of asking her?
