But I agree with you, get what you pay for. Longevity.

Also, in regards to a previous post of the plastic magazines they have....

One would think that with all the great features that Sako has along with the Tikka, they would have engineered something a little better than a plastic magazine. Possibly my least favorite feature on those guns.





thats been my reasoning for not buying one...aside from the crap scope rings they come with.

imo a rugger is a better gun as far as holding up to the abuse. i love mine, although its a little heavy at 7lbs without the scope.
