... the Tikka M55/M65's were a similar price but lighter, had better triggers, and were more accurate out of the box. ...

Just to digress a bit.....I have a Tikka LSA 55 (same as the Ithaca LSA 55 in the US) in 222 Rem & it is a fantastic rifle. This is my first center fire rifle which I bought on Christmas eve in 1993. I shoot 5 shot groups of 0.5 to 0.8 inch at 100 meters very often - not just once in a while. My best was a 200 meter group of 1.32 inches for 5 shots followed by 1.65 inches & a 2.5 inch group with a flier in a Deer Stalkers' Club competition! I am sure that a better shot than I could do better with that rifle. I had another in 308 which I got on a trade for a Rem 660 Mohawke 243. I traded it again for a Sako hunter 308....

The triggers on those Tikkas are the best factory triggers I have seen so far in my limited experience.

Always shoot through the target & not just at it.
