Benefit is going standard it saves me at least $100 and I'm not sure bigger bolt handle that much advantage as not varmitting and using it frequently.
Re pricing it was misserbale raqiny day yesterday so did a lot of googling and seems like Reloaders are the only ones with price less than others. Even then only $31 diference. Call me a skeptic but is there Apple'esk pricing policies on Tikka where sellers are 'encouraged' to be very similar?

I don't think it make a huge difference either, but I don't see the point in paying extra for something that in this case could be considered a negative.
Fluting limits your options on shortening the barrel down the track, which you may want to do if you find the added length of the suppressor a burden.

I thought the going rate for Tikkas was nearer the $1300 mark, I'd definitely ask around and see if places are willing to match or better other competitors.
The likes of HnF and GC sell a crap load of Tikkas so should be able to do you a good deal.
Personally I like Reloaders, great guys in there, I try to support them where I can and they can definitely do some good deals.
