Sounds like a rebranding of the Valmet series.

Does sound like it but a better Finish ( Pun Intended )

IIRC your Tikka 512 is also built by Marocchi, is that correct, or is it Finn-made?

As I understand it, all 512's are Italian-built.

My 12g U/O and 9.3x74R DB and action are Italian made. Some of the other barrels sets are Finnish made.

Tikka 512SD with U/O 9.3x74R barrels and a set of 12 gauge barrels with exchangeable chokes.

Nightforce scope 1-4 1/2 x illuminated scope.










A 1x scope is great for quick shooting in brush or at close range with both eyes open.

I not long put up a post about getting an extra barrel set for my Valmet 412 (currently 12g and .222Rem)
I was given a link to this thread and see you have several such barrels.
First what does the S signify? Mine is not an S, but has double triggers does the S signify single trigger by any chance?

Don't know what the "S" stands for. That was the model from memory and I think it is correct. I am not familiar with all the model numbers types etc.

I THINK they added the S when the manufacture shifted from Finland to Italy.

Nitro; How do you like the Nightforce scope?

Orofino {where they are made} is the nearest town to where my son will be living. He is graduating from university today with a degree in Forest Products/Operations and a minor in Fire Ecology and Forest Resources. One of the Foresters that worked for the same company he will be working for now works for Nightforce.

Small world?

Lightforce the company has its headquarters in Adelaide nearby, having been formed by a Dentist or Doctor based on the Yorke or Eyre Peninsula in SA.

I have not used the Nightforce scope enough yet to have formed an opinion. I used to have a different scope on the rifle when previously using it. Only recently fitted the Nightforce scope though I have had it for a while.

I do like the true 1x magnification for close shooting with a double. Also will work I think if mounted onto a combination set of barrels with a shotgun as well.

I prefer a different reticle. I think it will work fine though and be quick at sighting.

All barrels are safe for shooting with steel. Guns ar subjected to Steel proof test (made by the Italian National Proof House) on special request and at additional cost.

---

I have used mine with steel shot.

But I noticed when buying accessories from Italy that there are choke tubes marked as steel shot choke tubes.
