    Tikka?

    Are these tikka guns as good as they are made out to be?
    Or shall I go down the remmy road?

    You'd want to stay away from tikkas with a name like that.

    If he gets a tikka he should change it to brainless......

    Disclosure stated slowly for all the feral and not so smart tikka owners. It's. A. Joke. And. I. Am. Taking. The. Piss.

    The Tikka is just another budget rifle and shoots no better than the rest in the class listed above. They have their great accuracy guarantee but when you look at the fine print it isn't really worth the paper it's written on.

    Go with what fits you best.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    I wonder if that is because a Remmie can be sold on but a Tikka is something one is stuck with...just a thought.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    Nothing wrong with us hillbillys in little old taihape.
    The chambering question the 6.5 or 260 3006 perhaps.
    Any thing that tikkas are chambered in!
