$3500 is one hell of a lot of coin to "gamble" with...and gamble you will be doing...will it shoot??? will it bugger brass on first firing??? will it eject cases or rip off the rim???? will bolt handle fall off???? will the bolt fall out and no replacement be able to be found?????

good luck if anything goes wrong with it........ 3.5k........ buggermesideways,my wallet is cringing just typing that number out.


more money than sence.......

No, I would not pay that.
First thought was it was a special limited run factory offering. It seems they made them up

I do have one Tikka that I had customised with an IBI Carbon Wrapped barrel and fitted a Carbon fibre stock.

To date it shoots and accurately.

It does not bugger the brass on the first firing. Handy since it's expensive.

The bolt handle has not fallen off. Handy cause I upgraded it.

I have not had the bolt fall out. Nice, replacement s are hard to find as you pointed out.

Anyway, Tikkas are not a half bad rifle. Putting a Carbon Fibre stock on can reduce the weight by 500g.

But I'm not seeing a GunCity custom then its not going to hold value or appreciate in value like a Limited Edition might.

I don't expect mine to hold its value because it modified but it came in well under $3500
