    I would buy the rifle that fits me not the rifle that is flavor of the moment.
    A Tikka stock may not fit you. It will transfer more felt recoil than other stocks.
    On average Tikkas shoot well out of the box but if they dont they are tricky to get right with the silly recoil lug set up. Other rifle brands might fit and balance much better and you may because of that shoot a lot better with a Rem, Savage, Browning etc.
    Try a few before making a decision and dont fall in love with the first one, be objective
    Micky Duck and flock like this.
