Thread: TIKKA / SAKO FINISHING QUALITY

It grouped about 3" at 100yds... possibly just down to the ammo (it wasn't my rifle to investigate whether it was ammo or rifle issue) but safe to say it didn't leave me with a good impression of Tikkas!

Yeah the triggers are easily adjustable, mine breaks at 2lbs which is more than light enough and breaks very nicely. The bolts are a tad heavy too lift I find, but I don't find it to be too much of a problem. I Have handle one guys Remington 700 that was such an abomination of a rifle it could easily have put me off any Remington for life.
