it was a tikka. id also add, it was my second tikka... im not sure if it was the chopping of the barrel and suppressor, but it didn't shoot like I expected from a tikka either. so that helped in the decision to send it back too.

You were fairly lucky in being able to send back a chapped barrel weren't you?

it was brought new as a suppressed rifle. but yes, im lucky and thank full to the company that sold it to me, and took it back. I have no problem dealing with them again. great to deal with. id like to add, maybe its me but I didn't like shooting it without earmuffs (suppressed) so to me I didn't see the point.
