Thread: Help me make my mind up

Thats the way. Get a good feel for the rifles mentioned.

I loved the accuracy of my Savage but hated the feeding issues I had on mine. Bot new and old fed like shite unless they were polymer tipped or fed slowly.
Tried adjust the mag lips but it was to no avail. Also, the trigger wouldnt fire unless pulled straight back... I mean STRAIGHT back with zero allowance for mistakes.
It did cluster at 100 with 5 shot groups though.

Moved onto Tikka and never looked back.. zero issues, great accuracy and smooth both throw...

@cambo if you are sold on model 7s HnF North Shore is having a sale and their new 223 is $1199 may even come with a cheapie scope and some rings which you could flog to bring the $$ down even more.

Was wanting to compare 1 to the others. On paper its not that close to the others.

CZ is a bit of a pain to scope up. Very restricted to base and ring options.
Tikka bit better in that regards, and Savage easy as.

Head is saying Tikka, heart is saying fuck that get the Savage....

May be you should not limit your self to one gun and just buy two haha 1 tikka 1 savage

Now that is good advise!!

my tikka 223 18inch has shoot everything well so 53vmax 55 nosler 60vmax 69 seira tmk's and 75eldm's worst was the 60 vmax at just over an 1.25 moa groups. even the cheap h&f bulk ammo goes well. now using 53vmax and 75eldm's. Have you got a scope yet? I am going to sell the one on the 223. The david waters 5 and 10 round mags are good. Heaps of aftermarket parts for tikkas now.

What kind of velocity are you getting with the heavier pills from the 18” mate?

Yeah getting that Vortex off Muzr for whatever I decide on Blair

welcome to try me 223. bolt on wrong side tho. I did like my old howa.

All good bro. I don't want to catch that lefttie disease.
I've used Steveo's Tikka and liked that. But all Tikkas work well.
Savage did feel nice too. Bolt may need a bit of a polish but I did like it.

@cambo look what i found....
