Ok let’s just agree to disagree
If there is a political aspect to Tikka rifles I don’t know it.
I will not try to understand the finlander’s perspective of rifle performance other than it seems to make our understanding of “good “ a bit lacking.

I’m not cleare that any issue has been solved or addressed.
Let’s acknowledge that AU shipping is tricky.
David Waters is known to be honorable.(my experience)
Any concerns with his business model should be tested and compared with other AU vendors.
What else can I or others make judgement on?
I will do business with David Waters again.

Please, quit beating a dead horse.  The issue, pro or con no longer serves any useful purpose.  :-X

Understood and acknowlegeded
Thank you
