Tikkas are great rifles and will require little or no upgrading they have excellent triggers out of the box and shoot well. I prefer the stainless as they can take a bit more weather with no rust threat on overnight long backcountry trips. A stainless rifle out of the box will last your lifetime and longer. The 25-06 is a fantastic caliber and works well on elk moose and deer it’s my favourite go to rifle with 100 gr billets. The only down side to the 25-06 is factory ammo may be difficult to find so don’t be afraid to stock up. If you get into reloading the ammo downside is eliminated.
