NitroX, I don't know about the little double since Tikka took over the manufacture in Italy. I did have a Valmet 412, however,and still have a 412 12ga shotgun, and it was a really handy little rifle for North America, even with some fairly long range shooting. Mine was origenally chambered for 375 Winchester. It had a 1 in 12" twist, and worked with even the 300 gr .375 bullets. I had it re-chambered for 375 JDJ, and used the 300 gr Nosler bullets with good success! The regulation is a bit touchy, but when you get the hang of it, it works fine. I regulated mine for the 300 gr bullet, then installed ribs perminently. Mine was a single trigger, but the Valmet was available with double triggers. I don't know if the Tikka has them, though!

The regulation adjustments work like this, if you already know, maybe someone else does not! The front adjustment moves the barrels from side to side,or twist, and the middle one, under the forestock, makes the barrels converge, or widen! The adjustments are very abrupt, and do not take much to move the print on the target a lot! The Valmets were well made!
