Sorry, this is not in classified as I'm not necessarily looking for used. I have that itch for a new rifle and through the years I've been on here, I've been thoroughly impressed with the experiences shared here regarding their Tikka rifles. I went to bass pro and held one and again - impressed. It feels really good.
The BPS professional behind the desk recommended me a 6.5 Creedmore (no joke, he had a man bun. Can't make it up.) I asked him why and he said since I have a kid and the Creedmore is very easy on the recoil, it's something he could use fairly quickly. That and it is a really good, accurate round, known for its ability to tag stuff really far downrange. Great.
So with that, I went home and did my own research. Seems a 7mm-08 is very similar, a little heavier in recoil, but has less wind-drift and even outperforms downrange, albeit to a certain extent (of which I'll probably never need.)
So I hop onto Tikka's website and with 7mm-08 in mind, I narrowed my search to the following models below.
Here's the issue. I can't find a place with them in stock. I really haven't had much luck finding them online to understand the price. My question to you all is where are you guys buying your Tikka's?
If there's one anyone has available for sale I'm open, but prefer to buy new, thus is this not in the classifieds section... I'm hoping to just get some help finding these unicorns. Am I looking in the wrong places?
