[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 56461, member: 313"] Greenhorn, Beretta is currently the importer or parent company for Tikka/Sako. Something relatively new. I know all the guys rave about the out-of-the-box accuracy of Savage rifles but the Tikkas are much nicer in many ways. Tikka barrels are made in the Sako barrel manufacturing plant and are made to the same standards, the Tikka bolts are very smooth, the triggers are [B]owner[/B] adjustable. Esthetically, they are much nicer IMO. I have been able to get .5moa (5 shot) groups @ 200yds but it is not consistent. With quality handloads, my 7mm-08 Tikka will print Nosler B-Tips, Hornady A-Maxs or Barnes TSX bullets in .75moa @ 200yds with regularity. My rifle wears a 3x9 Kahles scope. Some hunters would refer to this level of accuracy as "better than minute of whitetail". I'll let you know Monday when I go hunting.
