Dude... You are out of your mind if you think Fuji's are better than Swaro's!!! You just got out glassed by guys with better eyes and lower budgets!! I have friends that can out glass the average hunter with a pair of Tasco's!!! That does not make me want to sell my Swaro's for them!!!! Fuji's are great when they are new but they fade really quickly if you use them.... and you won't even realize it. The life span on all the Fuji's we have ever tried was about 2-4 years.... Swaro's last 4-ever!!!!! Trust me.... I am not willing to part with a very well trained pair of Swaro's to down grade.... I'm just re-gearing. Wow! Didnt realize how sensitive some folks are on this website! Guess I should "re-word" this to say in my humble yet experienced opinion the Fuji's work better for me then the Swaro's. This in no way means all of us are of the same opinion but I surely wouldn't consider my hunting buddies to be on "lower budgets" or that they have "better eyes" then myself. One thing I must ask though I probably shouldn't but here it is, how do you know the Fuji's "fade real quickly" when you followed that statement up with "and you wont even realize it"? I am looking for a Swarovski spotting scope in case any of you know of someone looking to "re-gear" as well, as I do appreciate quality optics such as Swarovski. Thanks, Broken Wheels

You can upgrade by purchasing some Fujinon's in 15X60's. I had a pair of Swarovski 15X56's and went out with a pair of die hard glassing hunters with their Fujinon's and man I would never have believed it, but from dawn to dusk my Swarovski's couldn't out-peform the Fujinon's. I had sold three rifles in order to get my Swarovski's but took no time to sell them and make the switch to Fujinon! Bought my wife a pair as well and could buy 4 pair for the price of the Swarovski's, not knocking them just compared them in the field and couldn't deny the obvious. Just thought you all would like to know!

Sure wish I had a need for this weapon as that is a great deal after I checked around town for the price of the rifle alone. Plus they are not exactly sitting on shelves at every hunting store either! Good luck to you young fellar!

I have seen a couple of these rifles in action first hand and they are awesome for quick shots in the field. Sure wish I had a need for one but I bought into the whole TC Encore set up and now I am a barrel freak! Good luck, fair price you are asking!

Folks, I was with Trevor when he purchased this pack and I can promise you it has sat in his locker since he bought it. A smoking deal @ $175 as we paid over $200 for it at the show as Trevor said. If the J107 went for the asking price of $250 then this pack would surely be a steal. I love mine and wouldn't give it up for nothing! Thanks, Kirk

Hey ya'all, I just wanted to pass along a little note from our hunt this past weekend down in 36C Javelina hunting. Not only were we successful (2 for 3) but we had a wonderful, safe hunt with nothing negative to mention. We saw no aliens from this planet or others and though we didn't see many Javelina we obviously saw enough. Saw plenty of Coues bucks and some with one side of their rack missing already. (?) Great time, love the country and met Officer Ortega with Arizona Game and Fish who checked our harvested animals and aged them around 7-8 years of age. To my wife Dottie and good friend Jeffrey, thanks for a HOOT! Take a wife or child hunting, it is really cool!

I am neither a hero nor a saint but I will tell all of you this: always have a sidearm at the ready and brandish it at your side (not pointed at anyone) and more then likely you will not have a "visit" from anyone, illegal or legal. I hunt with my wife as well down in 36C and before they could come up to me I would use my best spanglish or a hand signal to halt their approach. If they proceeded then we would then take up arms to defend ourselves as they would then be considered a threat to us. Alto they understand so an excuse in court of " No Habla Englas" would not be suffice. I would rather protect my best friend and wife myself then HOPE they do not harm us. This is why AZG&F went back to allowing us to carry sidearms during archery season I truly beleive. We all do what we think is best but try to live with yourself if you allow something to happen to your wife or children and you somehow survive! In camp we have a motion sensor that has a God awful audible alarm as well as a super bright light and anything that comes remotely close to our trailer gets a surprise. Beats the old beer cans and fishing wire setup and you can get these alarms on EBAY for around $30 and they are battery operated. Good luck to all of you hunting and God Bless America!!!

So have you moved this Tikka as of yet and if not, when are you planning on coming up to the valley as I live in the east valley. Fair price even if the weapon weighs more then I too would like. Rreply to me and lets work something out possibly. Thanks, Broken Wheels

I am still willing to give $450 for this weapon should you still wish to part with it Glass 4 Days. Please let me know your thoughts on what you plan to do at this point as I also have another option to consider. Thank you!

Are you the original owner of the weapon since you are not sure of the age and if not then was the party you purchased it from the original owner by chance? You are also correct on all accounts with regards to the accuracy and you either use this particular weapon as a hunting tool or you use it as a "plinker" and realize accuracy will not be as good due to barrel temp and powder fouling. Is the rifling alright on this weapon from your perspective? Thanks, Kirk

What year is this weapon by chance?
