Hello Sulaco.Good point about the Beretta ownership, but then so is Benelli,Sako,Franchi,etc etc.Each and every Tikka or Sako is guarenteed to shoot 1moa or better before it leaves the factory,They don,t find the odd one that will shoot better, slap another stock on it and charge $200.00 extra
Tikka Rifles since the L55 have had a reputation for being accurate and smooth, the only thing was the weight,now they have fixed that. The action is the slickest on the market.
The Tikkas barrel is 22 3/4" same as the sako.
Ok the magazine is plastic but it is a single feed rather than the staggered, and makes chambering near perfect.
I'm 6' and certainly have no trouble with the configuration of the stock .
Each to his own I guess, but mines the Tikka, by a long shot.
