Nice gun Catcher. I'm looking for a Tikka myself, but have yet to find exactly what I'm looking for (SS/Laminate T3 in 7mm Rem Mag or 270). Apparently its a new model for 2004. If you are interested there is a lot of disussion on http://www.graybeardoutdoors.com/phpnuke/index.php regarding Tikka guns.

I look forward to hearing a range report.
