|
The gun on its own is around �850 I have seen them in a few |
|
shops at between �780 and �850 I traded a howa 1500 for this |
|
gun. |

I had problems with the Howa 1500 it failed to lift the round |
|
from the box magazine a few times when out lamping foxes |
|
It became unreliable and I sent it back to highland outdoors |
|
they fitted the rifle with a removable magazine conversion kit |
|
Free of charge. The howa was a great accurate gun but heavy. The |
|
tikka is a better built gun and never let's me down. |
|
Howa let me down to many times not feeding the rounds. |

I'd say you made a good move there with the Tikka, Tom. |
|
UK Gunworks do a replacement trigger spring for the Tikka which |
|
gives you a nice clean break. |
|
If I could make one observation about your kit, you seem to have |
|
the medium optilock rings fitted. Am I right? You'd get away |
|
with, probably, the extra low ones with that scope. It'd bring |
|
the scope a lot closer to the bore and would give you much |
|
better cheek weld on the cheek piece of the stock, leading to |
|
better accuracy. |
|
Al. |

Al |
|
Your right the mounts are for a 50mm or 56mm scope the vortex is |
|
44mm I could do with replacing them for Medium mounts that would |
|
bring it closer to the barrel. There is nothing wrong with the |
|
mounts I shoot well with the set up but its something I could |
|
improve. Any idea how much a set or medium or low optilck mounts |
|
would cost |
