This has me back to reconsidering. I know if I go the tikka route , I'll be taking the tikka route from here on. Obviously the cost is going to be higher because I'll have to purchase an ultra light stock or potentially another xlr chassis for the different action. I have an older savage short action with the top bolt release and it has the slot in the bottom of the bolt face that ejects the cases reliably. But I have the newer actions that I'm not as big a fan of. I've heard the tikka barrels from the factory are tough to get off, true ? I'd be buying a 270 wsm or 300 wsm tikka and take the barrel off instantly, probably run the original stock and upgrade later. As far as I know , you can't get a tikka action only right ?
