Thread: New Tikka & Sako

Hunting writers will say nice things about them and pretend they are different to get invites to Beretta pheasant shoots.
The rimfire option will likely have flashing LED lights, glow in the dark and have 4 in different barrels in .22 mag, .22, 17HMR and 17HM2 that fold out of the stock like the blades of a swiss army knife. A special (expensive) scope will digitally correct its self to four different zeroes depending on which barrel you fold out. It will be plastic and uglier than a $400 Savage. People who have owned a Finnfire Hunter will cry uncontrollably if they touch one.

To summarize the Blaser vs Accuracy International discussion, the Blaser is a rifle that is actually different. The Accuracy is a rifle that is actually a van, posing as a rifle. Its shaped like a van, its as heavy as a van and its as aesthetically pleasing as a van, so it must be a van.

To non military people they look military and to military people they look heavy.

Save yourself $10,000 and paint an old ford econovan olive green.

Beretta is a subsidiary of the same corporation producing computer tuned pop music and chemically addictive processed food.

Fuck me I just spat coffee all over my keyboard and wee'ed myself laughing. Haven't laughed like that in ages, I will never look as "Vans" the same way again
