Thread: What do you think of this rifle in .308?

If they come with a factory warrenty then for what you end up with its not too bad. Always a chance of a lemon regardless of factory or smith'ed and more chance in my personal experience with a lemon from a gunsmith.

My Tikka 308 was not 3.5k but then it does not have carbon anything. If I recall it was 3k including DPT suppressor with stainless baffle, trigger job and safety mod and a new 1-8 trueflite finished at 16 inch complete with fluted bolt and barrel (not that it floats my boat but it came that way)
I was going to buy a Tikka and have all that done less the fluting, but one popped up that True Flight had already done which worked out cheaper than buying a new one and then getting all the mods I wanted and buying another suppressor.
I have had quite a few smithed guns and only 2 have been trouble free right from the get go and no issues at all. Both shot like demons, one from Alpine Precision and the other from Trueflight. We wont mention the others but all were from the same supplier.

If its what you want then well worth it but if you dont need the carbon bits then try the guys at TrueFlight. They may have one already done on the shelf
