Thread: TIKKA / SAKO FINISHING QUALITY

It grouped about 3" at 100yds... possibly just down to the ammo (it wasn't my rifle to investigate whether it was ammo or rifle issue) but safe to say it didn't leave me with a good impression of Tikkas!

interesting. I had a savage .300WM that shot sub moa and had a decent acutrigger, it was however early production. I then had a poo43 one that shot 2 inch at best and the trigger was very vague. I also had two savage target rifles both in .308 the blued one shot really well, the stainless not that well.. Savage= variable build quality = yes. But I have yet to fire a Tikka with a bad trigger. you must have been unlucky.
