Mountain Rifles - Christensen, Tikka, Fierce etc...Thoughts, Suggestions, & Opinions

What about the begara b14, change the stock to the AG composite (saves 2lbs) you’d be looking at a 7.5lb gun before scope. You could sell the begara stock for roughly $300, you’d be in the setup for $1500-$1600

The only con with Tikka and the cartridge you’ve decided on (300 win Mag) is the twist rate of their barrels for stabilizing the heavier grain bullets.

Other than that it’s a far superior platform as far as action/trigger reliability and barrel repeatability long term. The Tikka will last you a lifetime and will function properly for that lifetime and will remain incredibly accurate for that lifetime as well.

The Superlight model does come with the stainless fluted barrel for $749. That’s a fantastic rifle for the price point. I’ve built 3 semi custom Tikkas based on that rifle. New bottom metal, new trigger spring, new stock and your done. You have a $1,200 semi custom rifle that flat out performs. Oh and is pretty darn light all scoped up and full of ammo ready to hunt.

What makes that stock better then the one that comes on the Tikka? It's graphite which I'm guessing is more rigid then plastic...
