    Sounds like the 100 has a few first gen quality/design issues. Be interesting to see the second gen. Early adopters often come across this.

    The tikka is tried and true. You know what you will get and that is a light, relatively basic, and very accurate hunting rifle. Good aftermarket now, and decent resale.

    The bergaras are another good option, bit heavy and only blued though which is a no go for me in a hunting rifle.

    Just buy the tikka. It will work

    Let us know how it shoots. If they can iron out a few kinks it would be great to have another quality option in that mid -lower price range

    took it out for a spin this arvo sighed it in at 100 with some cheap cheap ammo, shot a two inch group of 3 at best, no flash out passed the can , very nice to carry, recoil next to nothing(im used to 270),bolt sticks a bit at the front when chambering i hope this will go away with use, sonic suppressor works well hearing protection not needed but gets hot very fast , three groups of three and then needs a rest.my mates running a 308 with a hush power and full lenth barrel and mine is around the same volume i recon i little less even.

    il put some hornady down her this weekend at the range and see what happens
