    I own and have owned a few Tikkas. My hunting rig is a t3 stainless synthetic that I could use as a canoe paddle if need be. That being said, I'm shooting 1 1/2" groups at 100m, and about 3" @200m, but this is with norinco El cheapo bullets. This rifle is not lightweight by any means, but I like the egos. I fit a Butler Creek slip on recoil pad and that helped the fairly manageable recoil. I love the dedicated bipod swivel. No guarantee of moa, but it did come with a 3 shot test target from the factory for testing purposes. I * think* this was at 75 meters. The iron sight groupings are consistent, but I need to adjust for elevation, I need to look more closely at how to do this, as there is no mention of it in the manual. Wolverine had a 10% off sale last November, so that was the straw that broke me. The Czz bolt is not initially as smooth as a Tikka. I rubbed paraffin on mine cycled it numerous times and polished it up. Now the bolt, after 50 rounds, seems to be seating nicely, although it doesn't LOVE Norco 7.62, but who does? The stock is a little softer, it might be beech wood. I do love the integrated magazine release in the metal trigger guard. Come to think of it, it is about as antithema as you can get from the mostly polymer and plastic Tikka. I still like me both. The iron sights really swayed me, though, as I love the versatility of it.

    Darn it! I'm afraid I'm going to have to buy both a tikka synthetic stainless and a CZ wood and blued!

    The receiver and barrel sure looks like my SS CTR (but in 260Rem). Will do 5 shot 1/2" groups at 100m when I do my part.

    Revolvers RULE; remember that next time you BEND over to pick up brass OR ejected brass pings off the precision gear.
    Looking for a car pool buddy for weekly weekday trips from Burnaby to POCO. Better yet I'll drive weekly and you take me hunting.

    My TRG does 1/2" at 100m with handloads, jumps to 1.5" with NORCs. Great for picking off clays at 200m. I paid 40c a rnd, can't beat that, my reloads are twice that.
    Expect the Arctic to be 1/2 MOA.
