    Never said they don't.... a Sako likely won't shoot any better or worse thsn a Tikka, but it will still be a Bentley rather than a Corolla.
    As previously stated I don't hate Tikka's and no argument outta the box they are great.

    Out of interest to @MB if your still interested in the new Tikka bush rifle they are 2.54kg bare rifle, would easily shave some off with a hitech stock, Rivers to Ranges Rangiora have both in stock

    Is that what you call what you do to your rifles?
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    So it is a status symbol rather than any sort of improvement of performance

    No there are differences just like there are differences between a Bentley and a Corolla .....ffs mate your reading way to much into it.
    My rifles are tools and get used for filling my freezer, I have the best tools I can, doesn't mean I couldn't do the same with a Howa or any other cheaper (not necessarily poor quality rifle).

    16” Barrel
    Fluted

    Over sized bolt know

    Standard stock. Can buy with a Suppressor, rings and 2.5-10 scopes for $2699.

    I don’t even no what to say about this rifle frankly disappointing 4 inches of flutting a big ugly bolt and the balance of a boat anchor pick your socks up sako-tikka/beretta it’d better be cheaper than a standard t3 because they have essentially done a factory butchered number

    At risk of firing up this shit show of a thread, I've come down to buying a Tikka Bush Hunter - handled one today, I like it. Plan on slapping it in a Hi-Tec Composites Carbonfibre stock. I think someone suggested this like 5 pages ago! Downside is that barrel on the rifle has a thicker profile than the standard Tikkas. A decent dealer is looking in to this for me. I don't fancy dealing with Hi-Tec directly after their recent issues. Why is nothing ever simple?! Post out of exasperation, but also a public service announcement for those thinking of going down the same route

    It's all factory done. Just shorter, fluted barrel and threading. You can just unscrew the bolt knob and have it standard if you don't like it. Comes in at same price as any other Tikka that is factory fluted and factory threaded so +$200 from the standard T3X.
    I can't speak for other stores but we get a lot of customers wanting 16" 308s so it's a good idea to get it all done factory to get that good Tikka guarantee.
