You could borrow mine although these days I seem to constantly be wearing it

$4200, geez that's about 3x more than a Tikka off the shelf.............bet it doesn't shoot 3x better...................just saying

You are being a bit tough on Dan.

On Saturday I fired at Brad's hill-side 12 times with an HRE stainless barrelled rifle and didn't miss it once. You could see the great big holes in the dirt.

haha, I witnessed you hit steel at 600 yards at least once!

Whats a sako Carbonlite worth? Unless you want to build an obscure caliber, keep the tikka barrel, its the best bit on them.

Could have a sweet tikka, with a carbon stock and a decent scope for that money

Wouldnt you be better buying a kreiger barrel and a carbon fibre stock and still have change towards a decent scope.

Lipstick and pigs come to mind here.

Yup, 4200 and you’ve still got a budget rifle...

Those budget rifles shoot incredibly well in Stock form, dressing it up isn't going to make it shoot any better.

Spend your money on something special that will be still worth good money if you ever sell it.

Ah yes, but you'd have to be a bloody sneaky stalker to kill a deer with a lump of gold.

200 grains of gold pushed by a good dose of powder should do the trick from a distance ;-)
All that matter is that you recover most of it so you don't lose too much on your investment :-)
