Most overrated rifle

10/22 - unless you swap out everything for aftermarket it's not that accurate.
I've got a 60 year old semi-auto that absolutely smokes the 10/22.

the only thing going for the 10/22 is that you can swap out everything for aftermarket

Ironic seeing that most factory remingtons can't do better than 1.5moa. Which these days is frankly pathetic. But keep talking fudd, amuse us with your "knowledge"



Trying to talk #### about a tikka action being not smooth when trying to defend the remington 700 is the textbook definition of irony when i have yet to see a factory remington come even close... how many trigger recall has the tikka had? Yeah thought so. Of course that is using it as an example, one of many.

And the mauser action is significantly more durable than the remington... always has been.

He makes several good points. The Tikka is cheaply made. I don't mind them, as you say they have a smooth bolt, they are pretty light and I have found them to shoot well.

They do however have pretty crappy magazines that are ridiculously expensive. A PMAG is much higher quality and they cost about 1/4 the price. One action length is just being lazy, and the recoil lug system is another cheap out. Plastic stocks aren't great, but neither are the other manufacturers. Mags are often short (cartridge dependent) which often makes it impossible to get the bullet close to the lands.

It's not a bad gun, but it's a budget rifle being sold at a mid grade price.

FWIW I had a T3 Stainless in 6.5x55 Swede and have had half a dozen 700s. 4 out of those 6 700s shot better than my Tikka. Although all shot well enough for a factory hunting rifle.

I've owned a couple rem700, they were both sub MOA in their factory configurations, with butter smooth action. I traded one and kept one; I've since upgraded the one I kept into a rifle that would challenge the finest, at a fraction of the cost. I've never owned a Tikka, so I won't knock it. I will say I have literally no use for one though.

Remember the ad for it? Man named Frye, if I recall correctly, hit thousands of 2.5" X 2.5" wood blocks thrown into the air.

With very few misses. My hits at standing blocks of this dimension, couldn't compare to his misses.:rolleyes:
 
Henry lever actions , owned three ( 22lr , 30-30 , 45-70) , nice looking rifles but never got anything amazing out of them as far as accuracy goes even when using a scope on all three of them.

Remington 700. A mediocore rifle with a massive following for unknown reasons along with a massive aftermarket to make it good(by which point you might as well have bought a custom rifle to start with). A favourite of the fudds, and the moment you try a comparably priced tikka side by side with any of them at basically any store you wonder what the hype is about.

Your talking about operator error.
Guys having their booger picker on the trigger when cycling the action or messing with the trigger springs when they are not even qualified to pick up a wrench let alone modify a trigger assembly.
But, your opinion has been noted as such.

Thank you for that trip down memory lane.
And didn't someone else more recently surpass that record with the Ruger 10/22?

maybe or maybe not

You're incorrect. I like the 700 and have owned several even after getting a defective one. I bought a 700 SPS youth in 2010, X-Mark Pro trigger. Straight out of the box the rifle would fire when clicking off the safety. No trigger mods, no finger anywhere near the trigger. Rifle on safe, click to off and boom.

Remington replaced the trigger under warranty (this was before the recall) then the trigger got replaced again under recall.

I reject your reality and inject my own.

There is a difference with a recall over someone messing with something they should leave the Eff alone and blowing a hole in their head or shooting their buddy next to them or shooting a hole in their foot all because they wanted to adjust the trigger.

If one follows the golden rules of gun safety, nothing will happen regardless of a defective trigger. You can't blame a gun, defective or not, for shooting your buddy or your foot.

However it is a fact, not open to interpretation. Some of the triggers would fire, WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS, when moving the rifle from safe to fire.

Mine had the adjustable X Mark Pro. After discovering that my rifle would fire when switching off the safety, RIGHT OUT OF THE FACTORY BOX, I tried adjusting the small set screw. As it came from the box it would fire around 80% of the time switching off the safety. Back it off 100% of the time. Tighten it up and it went down to about 20% of the time.
