Tikka 7mm-08

Post by MUP »

Well...I just picked up a SS Tikka M585 in 7mm-08 the other day. I've been told that if I start shooting it, I'll throw my 30-06 down! :shock:

I hear they are tack drivers!! I'm sure you will love it. A great deer round as well from what I hear. Let's see some pics MUP.

:P You're just bragging now, Steve. :lol:

You come across some cherries!!! I don't think that you will have to worry about hearing a "click" when you pull the trigger on this one :D :oops:

"Afford" has nothing to do with it. :lol: Just couldn't pass up a good deal like that. I just figure if it puts me in too tight of a bind, I'll just pass along a good deal to someone else ;)

Let us know how the Tikka shoots. I've been debating between the Tikka, model 7, and Roger.

Never owned one but here the Tikkas are great rifles. You cant go wrong with the caliber. Load it down for the kids and load it up for you. :D Good luck! Hope your rifle is a shooter in whatever you decide!
