    85 Carbon light in 6.5 Creedmoor before I sold the Z8.
    It now wears a Z5 but wish I still had the Z8.

    Yes but Tikka’s are a basic tool they do the job and still isn’t as nice as a Sako. There’s a special feel that handles so nice in the hand with a Sako, and a lot of great features eg pic rail, twin ejectors, locking double stack mag, safety/ bolt button, top load magazine while in action, close bolt on empty chamber while magazine is in, short bolt lift and they look so good.

    Sako M-28 in 7.62X53R.
    You can't polish a turd but Sako can rebarrel one.

    ... I did not realise the TRG was a switch barrel design. That is very cool, and explains a lot more about the price tag!
