I actually found a gun shop that had one of each and I do believe I like the feel of the tikka better. The only caliber they have is 6.5 creedmoore and I'm not a hudge fan. I looked at gun broker and of the calibers they have the 7mm-08 or 270 win wouldn't be too bad. On tikkas website they show a 6.5x55, I'd really like that if I could find one but so far none available. I am planning an elk hunt in Colorado in 2 years I plan in bringing it and my .300 win mag that way I have options depending on exact terrain. The main reason for the "mountain rifle" is a year after that when my son graduates I plan in moving to Alaska for a few years and want something light and handy for sheep and caribou.
