Thread: What tikka to purchase

Only thing I would say, having owned three Tikkas, is they seem to produce more felt recoil than other rifles of the same calibre/weight in my opinion. My X-bolt 16" which weighs about the same as my old Tikka 16" 308 has a lot less felt recoil. Surprised me when I shot it.

That being said the Tikka action is very well made and they are very accurate out of the box, though I much prefer the Browning safety and you can open the bolt with the rifle on safe.
