    There is nothing old about them - Tikkas are cheap technology compared with a Winchester model 70, which are wonderful rifles. I have had about three of them, and still have a push feed featherweight model from the 1980's in .30/06. It will shoot into an inch with anything I give it, and with its 4x Leupold has never lost zero from one year to the next, even when I start hammering the open sights around with a hammer. Last rifle I will sell. I sold the Tikka. And the Sako's.
    Not sure why people say they have trouble adjusting the triggers - its very easy just two screws, never met a Model 70 with a bad trigger.

    The Featherweight models remind me very much of the old BSA featherweight Majestics.

    Who is the distributor for them now? They don't seem to be for sale new very often. I would get another featherweight in .270 one day.
