    The Robertson composites have a very loyal following up here,for many brands not just Tikka.

    Grodas make some stocks. It's nice to see you can bring them in and sell them less than they do across the pond.

    This one is in 308. Not shot it yet,the rings are 30mm and loctited on. Don't want to destroy them,so I need to get a 30mm tubed scope,or find a set of 30mm to 26mm inserts.

    Nice rifle!  Are you going to use the rings that came with the rifle or use something else?

    We don't get free rings up here,like you guys south of the border do. I'm going with Optilocks. They'll allow me to switch from 1″ to 26mm scopes and use the same rings.

    It's a special model created  how I wanted it. 223 with 1:8 twist ,20″ threaded barrel,single set trigger. Seems no one had ever ordered that combination before. Scope is going to be a Swarovski Z3 3-10×42 with the BRH reticle for now. Later this scope will get put on my 595 in 22-250,and either a Swarovski or Kahles of higher magnification will go on this one,once I get my longer shooting range set up. This rifle is for target shooting mainly.

    The 58 series was the first Sako version of a Tikka. It had the sleeved bolt and a problematic magazine catch. I've not heard many bad things about them over the years. Just not the most plentiful of Tikkas out there. They became the  90 series which then became economy version when the 95 series came out.

    I was ready to go with a Rapid Z,but then I looked through a Swarovski. Game over went with a Swarovski with the BRH reticle.

    Thanks for posting the link. I found Lumley awhile ago,but could'nt find them again. The guys in Oz seem to like them. Wonder though why they don't like using aluminum for the bottom metal?

    From the ones I've owned,I'd have to say they are about even. Now if was the LSA/M 55 and 65 series vs the others……….
