Have you tried them all? Which do you prefer? After playing with all of the above in different calibers i would stay with the finnlight.

I would guess they think that adding a scope to it really increases the value. Unfortuanately most people tend to look at a rifle for the value of the rifle alone. A scope makes it more attractive but doesn't normally add much value. Well not unless it is exactly the scope you are looking for.

for $1550

Is this pricing in Aussie dollars? If so he brought a kimber, bedding it, got the action and trigger worked over and it still only shoots MOA... I hope hes shooting factory ammunition through it.

Nice choice of scope. I believe in spending at least more than half the value of the rifle on the scope. The Tikka at $940 would give you an extra $600 to put towards your scope over the kimber.
