This is basically a stainless CTR. Not sure a Wood stock is worth the extra $1700. Still want one lol

I'd much rather have a CZ 557 Range rifle. And, if you can't find one, you can build one. Buy a leftover 557 Lux SA, buy a Ranger stock from Wolverine Supplies, along with a 10-round mag and a pic rail. Done for half the price

I've had the .308 Arctic for a few years now and I haven't had the mag feed issues being stated here, in any of the mags I have for it. I also tried the CZ ranger model and comparing triggers and sights and I found the Arctic's two stage trigger to be fantastic, and the rotary adjustable rear aperture to be just about as perfect as you could find for open sights.
Actually you are wrong. I have fired several models in both Tikka and Ruger American.
Are Tikkas nice? Sure, they are okay, but so are Ruger Americans.
I'm not slamming Tikka, they are just overpriced. Their synthetic stocks are Tupperware.
The walnut and laminate stocks that Tikka make are gorgeous. Ruger American synthetic stocks are also Tupperware.
Tikka's actions are all built on a long action, if you buy a 223 Rem or a 243 Win it's a long action receiver in a short action caliber. The whole idea of lightweight and quick cycling time is diminished.
Like I said, if you pay big money for a Tikka, you may as well buy a Sako, now there is a beautiful rifle.
I would buy a Ruger American for $750.00 before I paid over $1000.00 for a Tikka.
I know there is a lot of Tikka fans and that's good. I'm not one of them.......

I love Chevy over Ford because reasons…

I had a chance to handle one at the Tillsonburg gun shop… They have one they’re on consignment. Asking price is 3K, I believe chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor… I would love one and 308, but I just can’t justify the expense. Not too many polar bears, I need to protect myself from in southwestern Ontario.
