My theory is perhaps what you are seeing is a lot of first rifle buyers who have bought Tikkas trying to on-sell them after giving hunting a go and deciding it's not for them. If you've been around the hunting rifle market long enough you know that as soon as you've walked out the shop door with that new rifle, the value just dropped by at least a third, sometimes more depending on breed/calibre. I get the feeling that most of those 2nd hand Tikka owners trying to sell them for ridiculous money don't know that.
