Thread: White latte drinker wants new rifle - Sauer or Tikka?

I agree the synthetic stocks aren't as solid as a tikka but they are a much nicer rifle to handle in my opinion, the stock is also slightly better for eye alignment than that of a T3. My Sauer is wood stocked but I handled synthetic also before buying, i cut the barrel on mine straight away so have no idea how it shot out of the box but it's a laser now so assume it would have been good full length also. Sauer action takes any remington 700 mounts/rails etc, 3 position safety on Sauer is a nice feature also
