Try the trigger. If its too heavy (they often are) you can get replacement springs so don't worry about it too much.

I'm going to get my head bitten off for this, but..... I'm not a fan of Tikkas. While i 100% agree they are fantastic rifles, accurate, quality, smooth etc, I've just never found enjoyment from the...

+1 for the no muzzle brake on a do everything rifle, surprising how loud they are when taking a quick shot with no time to get the plugs in - never again. Suppressor or nothing
