bowhunter-tw Report post Posted October 26, 2022 Ive been told the tikka action is smoother and feeds better, if that is true I think that alone would be worth going with the tikka, but that also could be biased. I really need to just go handle both of them somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schmitty Report post Posted October 26, 2022 Tikka's are tough to beat for the $. Down sides are there is only one action size and the bottom metal and magazine are plastic. However, the action will be smooth as glass and will feed/cycle effortlessly. The factory trigger is pretty decent as well and the barrels typically shoot good and clean easy. It doesn't hurt that the .223 barrels are 1 in 8 twist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trphyhntr Report post Posted October 26, 2022 Ruger American stock and magazine are a joke. Have no idea how you guys can enjoy shooting those. The bolt and the trigger are almost as bad. I get it, they’re pretty accurate. But cot dam those are some junky feeling guns. Takes all the fun out of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really need to just go handle both of them somewhere If you've never handled a tikka, you need to. I have owned several over the years and I regret selling everyone of them. They are nice rifles and all the ones I owned were very accurate. If I bought a factory gun, it would be a tikka. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would not hesitate on buying one and every Tikka I've shot has been a sub-moa shooter right out of the box. Incredibly smooth action for a factory set up.

I almost bought one but didn't like the rubbery feeling of the stock. A good friend has one in 6CM and has wacked a bunch of Coues with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
