Tikkas tend to be good shooters but the quality is not there. They feel like a plastic toy, the action is stiff, and there are ongoing issues with mechanical failure and broken parts. Most buyers are focussed on the price and light weight.
Get a Sako 85 or the older 75 in your hands and you will quickly recognize the difference without even firing a shot. The action is silky, smooth, and they shoot very well. My only complaint is the flimsy, flexible stocks used on the Finlights and Stainless models.
