Hi,
I've been looking at bolt action rifles. I'm left handed and have a long LOP! I've looked at Savage 10's and Remington 700's. The Savage has an excellent barrel but not crazy about the action?
The Remington has a work horse action but needs blue printing for real accuracy and the factory barrel is so-so?
Triggers also come into play.some people like the Savage accu-trigger,some don't! Remington Mark X triggers don't seem that well regarded and people run to Timney (more cost)
What I hear about the Tikka rifles though is that they have a nice strong action,pretty much already blue printed,hammer forged accurate barrels and an excellent trigger right out of the box!!!
Looking at the Tikka T3 Sporter in LH seems to be ready to go for me as everything is adjustable!
