    worldwide i think Tikka will sell a heap of them . . . not to most shooters but to guys that will appreciate them.

    i take my hate off to Tikka for the design/concept of this rifle . . . its cheaper than a Sako by a good margin & has features that are differeent enough from the Sako to round out the line of quality rimfires in the Beretta lineup, well done.
    So why would you buy one? Don't you have a quad or two?
    This isn't me hating on them either, I think for the tikka boys it's a great option, just pure curiosity for buying something like that at that price point over the likes of CZ etc

    If you are not into the CZ it can be a bit tricky buying around that price range. I ended up getting a wood T-Bolt last year ago as wanted something reasonably light to carry in the hand and felt the Finnfire/Quad option a bit pricey. Even though I’m not a Tikka fan boy I would have probably gone down that road. I’m just not that into the T-Bolt now I have it. Or maybe it’s just that a more expensive 22 just feels a bit pointless for what you want it for...

    first off a small correction needed in my last post . . . i meant to say i take my hat off tikka, not hate . . . damm that auto spell check

    i do have 2 Quads, with diffeerent stocks and barrels, probably sell one . . . . the main reason i like the Tikka is because its a full sized rifle, most rimfires feel sawed off to me.

    i still have to handle one and find the money before anything happens . . . could be awhile . . . plenty of time to see the reviews etc


    this is where we differ @LOC

    a quality firearm is just a pleasure to carry and use . . . going back to a cheaper rife would be the pits
