Good, bad, good deal, rip off? Hate as much as you like. I know next to nothing about carbon wrapped barrels.

Very nice rifle it is and no doubt it works. However I couldn't splash that much on a Tikka. Regardless how much carbon.
Nothing wrong with Tikkas but for that sort of money there are much nicer rifles to buy, I agree and toally understand where @Magnus is coming from, for the same reason I have never and probably will never own a Tikka.
Not because there is anything wrong with them but because they are a "Corolla" reliable and well made but I prefer a more refined driving experience like a "Bentley" :cool:
Please before you flame me.....I don't hate Tikka's they are very good, just not tor me
I'd want to know who did the gunsmithing as I've seen some real shocking shit come out of guncity and you could probably kiss any kind of warranty goodbye also. And those stocks..... Yuck. I had one a few years back and it just didn't work for me at all they are really bulky through the wrist and quite square up front and to be honest they just look really unpleasant in my mind it doesn't matter how light a rifle is if it feels bulky then it will never handle well and mine started to delaminate along the fore end
Yeah, it's about weight and balance. Kimber 84m looks good, but tracking one down is another matter. Sako Carbonlight at over $6K.
3.5k!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3.5k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
$3500!!!!!!!!!!!!!
carbon fibre or solid gold??????????
$3500 is one hell of a lot of coin to "gamble" with...and gamble you will be doing...will it shoot??? will it bugger brass on first firing??? will it eject cases or rip off the rim???? will bolt handle fall off???? will the bolt fall out and no replacement be able to be found?????
good luck if anything goes wrong with it........ 3.5k........ buggermesideways,my wallet is cringing just typing that number out.
more money than sence.......
and its a garden variety .308winchester....if you want light...go Scot Trail jobbie...... if you want reliable go HOWA.... if you want flash looking, buy some pink spray paint....3.5k yeah thats just crazy money...... Im going to have nightmares now....
if you want to spend big coin and get nice rifle buy a sako..... at least yo uwill still have good warrantee if something goes wrong,and resale will not hurt so much....
Plenty of nicer or better quality rifles around for $3.5k go have a look for yourself :thumbsup: I never said carbon stocked and carbon barreled.
I'm not gonna search around for something I have no intention of buying. You can get a lot of rifle for that sort of money.
@Micky Duck :D so predictable ;) :yaeh am not durnk:
