Tikka !

Until they fix the issue with the bolt shrouds breaking, I won't own another. Yes a $50 aftermarket aluminum replacement fixes the problem, but why can't Tikka do that themselves?

How many have you ever heard of breaking? No doubt the odd one has but it's more urban myth than fact that the problem is endemic. I must know 50 Tikka owners and not a single bolt shroud has broken.
 
I ve seen stainless steel rusted (note : seen) and not only on Tikkas ....

Shower with your SS rifles, use shampoo (Herbal Essences) to clean them, and they will rust if you don't oil them after.

EDIT: 4000th informative and well written post, that's right folks.
 
Tikkas are great , i have a stainless but i did hear the blueing is a bit cheap on those models .. Remember we get ripped off for Tikkas in Canada , i have seen blued T3 lite models in the US selling for $350 to $400 .. we get burned here .. down there they are a screaming deal..
 
All steel will corrode, even stainless, at least any worth building a rifle with that you can afford. When he spoke did it sound like words or the passing of flatulence?
