    Over the years I have worked on a great many Tikkas (no problems, just tuning, threading, etc) and formed the opinion that they are well designed and manufactured, and good value for your money. ...

    I have to admire your tenacity! That is lot of work without a milling slide, buggerizing around with packers and a dial gauge before you can make a cut! It just goes to show what can be done on a...
