Welcome to the forum.
Keep the Tikka, no reason to upgrade the rifle
What glass are you using on the Tikka ?
Tell us some more about distances you are shooting at and specific issues that makes you feel that an upgrade is required.
hav fx3 12x40 knw this is one of limiting factors but want to go to high bc 208 amax wont fit in mag

your current set up should get you right out there by the looks of it,
outshoot your current set up then look to upgrading, atleast then the new rifles barrel isnt taking the brunt of the wear
nessary things in my mind are - rangefinder, notebook, handload with a nice high BC bullet with acompanying chrony reading and drop chart, big target IE gib board size. then just time and recording in your note book correcting the dropchart
on the bright side this is the fun bit, rather than waiting on parts in the mail and having an incomplete rifle
rabbits 3-400, deer 4-500

Ditch the can too. Heavy, unwieldly and impractical for LR shooting. Ask KG to do you a brake and you can thank me later.
Oh, and welcome aboard.
have a t3 shortnd 308 bush carrying magpies/rabbits/deer good up to 3-400,nt worried about weight , nt interestd in wearn ear protection for brake
