Tikka is a worthy stop on the road to Sakoville.  ***i think the 6.5cm would be a good fit for the Model7

Tikkas typically shoot but are too plasticy. I’m a fan of older remingtons which probably won’t be chambered for 6.5 Nothing wrong with the new Remingtons, either.

One thing about Tikka, it’s a “one size fits all” with their action length.
“Killing tomorrow’s trophies today.”
On the distance I like to walk to my stands:

Bought a Tikka 6.5.it is the best shooter in my safe. Better that the rem 700. Better than the Sako How did it do out of your Model Seven?

Ain't a damn think wrong with Tikka for the $. I bought my son one several years ago when he was still in school. He's a lefty so that limited the choices. It's a .308 T3 light stainless and will shoot anything well you put in the pipe, TTSX with a freshly cleaned bore , fouled bore it don't matter. They put their $ in the barrel , action and such not the stock. The stock is kinda cheap feeling , but for a hunting gun not a big deal.
I've thought about "building" a mountain rifle off one. I'd start with a .308 , T3 light stainless , cut bout 2" off the barrel , maybe a different stock, topped with a very low power, quality scope. Hubble telescopes need not apply. That's all one would need for me.

The price was right, it looked great and accuracy may have actually improved a little.

There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:
1. All Politicians Are Liars
2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft
