I own several Tikka's.. mostly used for "truck gun"..get thrown in for the instance you run into a coyote, bear or whatever that needs to be dealt with.. have 2 in 22-250 --wife and mine..along with a .243 for my son to harvest deer/elk/whatever... all shoot really well for what they are.. my wife whacked a speed goat at just over 500yrds with my 22-250 several years back .. I used mine a lot for coyotes in deeper snow..its light, handy and frankly don't care what happens to it..
