Thread: A different Tikka to the Tararuas

It is almost impossible to not like/love a Tikka.

I have a Tikka M65 with a heavy target barrel, or what some would call a varmint barrel on some rifles, in 6.5x55 and it is a very good rifle that is very accurate, with a great trigger and very comfortable to shoot with.
It is extremely easy to shoot well with.
It is almost impossible to miss with it.

My father that is now over 80 sold all his guns many years ago after he started to loan this rifle from me for his hunting.
He found that he liked to shoot with and hunt with this rifle so much more than all the rifles he owned, so he saw no point in owning all those guns when he was able to loan this gun from me whenever he wants to.
Both he and I have shot many deer with it over the years and dropped a few red foxes as well.

The 6.5x55 is a VERY good deer cartridge in my opinion and it works well on moose as well.
