    Tikka options..

    Looking at a new rifle… to scratch the magnum itch. And have narrowed it down to a couple I like..

    So wondering if there’s any feedback from the brains trust on the Roughtech or Strata?

    *Stocks feel nicer than the aspire (mould join on comb/stock plastic is unpleasant)

    Differences I see are:
    Strata has a SS ceracoted bolt & barrel (larger capacity mag not a pro or con)
    Roughtech has grippy stock and fluted bolt

    Won’t be using the standard break that comes with either of them (DPT). I like the fluting on both options

    Any feedback on experience with either would be great

    I've only had the std and Aspire and I do like the little cheek riser as the std stock are too low.
    I guess it depends on if you are going to restock with a carbon stock or not.
    I would go std super light if changing the stock or Aspire if not.
    For the extra cost of the others I don't think it's worth it.

    Grab the standard fluted if you can and grab a carbon stock way better then any standard t3 stock

    I just went through this not long ago, went with the aspire, as the roughtech has a heavier contour barrel which makes it noticeably more heavy. And the cost is a lot more for what you get.
