I like both but I think the tikka is a funner rifle to shoot. Plus it is nice and light so it would be good for a yote gun in the field. The bolt is very smooth and with a 5 round mag you could have some quick follow up shots if needed.
Tikka Lite stainless is a way nicer looking rifle. The Savage has a heavy target barrel, so I guess it isn't a light gun at 8.75 lbs compared to 6 3/16lbs for the Tikka.
So Tikka wins for looks and weight.
Q: Why not wait until January when thew fed tax goes down to 5% from 6%.
Is it Festivus already!??? Time to take out my pole! Hey long timers being rude to poor old Bronco Boy, blow it out your a**ses!
Merry Christmas to one and all!

LOL, true regarding the Ruger not being a museum piece. Mine is the 200 year liberty edition and it's in sweet condition but still, still just a Ruger.
I would love a Kimber or Sako but I can not find a left handed one. It seems most manufacturers only offer their middle of the road firearms in left versions.
I thought I would add my Seinfeld .02 to the Festivus reference...

ahhhhhh, lol. right over my head.
Bronco boy,
Finding a left-hand Tikka in a varmint caliber might not be that easy either, unless you already have a line on one. They are neglecting the south paw market at the manufacturing level because they can't keep up with sales in general.

Which is my point, if you find what you want in stock somewhere grab it. Tikka flat out isn't making left handed rifles at the moment. I went to Africa with the distributor of Tikka, Sako, Beretta etal this summer and he was filling us in on some of the supply situation. Ya snooze, ya loose.

I snooze ,because I don't have the $ money to not lose. Good luck to those otherwise inclined.

In other words, I'm a broke ass SOB.

Not being left-handed it doesn't matter to me. I would like to get some 5 shot T3 magnum magazines and can't get those either.
