I voted for the 101, and I've heard nothing but positive about the 100, just never owned one. But if it shoots as good as the 101 and if the trigger is as good, for about $750 less, it would be a slam dunk. Can't speak for the 100, but the 101 is just as smooth as a Tikka.
The Europeans have a couple hundred years on us in gun building experience, and it often shows up in the quality of the craftsmanship. CZ, Sauer, Mauser, old Sakos, Tikka/Beretta, Holland & Holland, and Steyr could move into my safe rent free any day.
