Thread: Tikka vs Remington vs Savage

I have way to much free time on my hands at the moment, had have found myself once again annoying Americans on other gun forums (one of my favourite hobbies).

Based on a few argument's recently, If you were in the market for a new hunting rifle, what would you get.
Was mainly interested in the three listed, and was thinking all being each manufactures equivalent of a Tikka Lite SS.

I'm not at all in the market for a new rifle, but hopefully will be in the near future and am pretty set on another Tikka.

Mainly made this thread to get a bit of banter, but hey I might learn something too

Winchester.you wont learn anything new.you will see the usual arguments from all sides

The Tikka has a more stiffer stock out of the factory than the Remington. But, the Remington currently offers a wider selections of upgrades. But more options are becoming available for the Tikka's especially in the US.

I don't know much about the Savage, but any of these will see you will i think. This includes the Winchester as Neckshot mentioned.

What ever feels right when you raise it to your shoulder is the one!

Sako, tho over priced here.
Tikka second choice,very good value for money.
Savage.
Dont like Remington myself tho they are probably the best option if you intend to customize.

Model 70

That was expected from me wasn't it

+1 on the x bolt. Even though I own a Ruger and I dont own any of the above. It 'feels' the best imo and from all reports ive heard doesnt need any work straight outta the box.

CZ 527 American .223 Right Hand

Not too much more, pretty much same price as a wooden stock Tikka T3.
I almost brought a 527 Kevlar instead of my Tikka, too this day I wonder what it would've been like, was the same price accept the Tikka had free rings.
I love my Tikka in every way, but have always had the what if thought.

Depends on the calibre

Nothing in reality.. Just imo x bolts look, feel and shoulder well. And from all reports ive come across havent heard of a lemon yet. Plus they produce leftys. :thumbup:
