    Why wood on one and synthetic on the other option?

    Tough call then.
    The rifles are much of a muchnes but you can't top load the Tikka being the only real advantage of the A7 imho.

    Can't get A7 in wood?

    Speaking of tikka stocks the folding KRG is what i would like to get my mitts on!
    A mate has put one on his TRG and it is a bit of gun sex.
    They look another step up from those chassis that DED sell thats for sure!
    My favorite sentences i like to hear are - I suppose so. and Send It!

    If you can try to spend a bit more on your optics as it would be a shame to have a sub standard scope on either of those rifles they are both very nice rifles.You cant go wrong with either but an average scope will disapoint you. just my 2 cents.
