Quote:Very insightful.........
Compared to your posts, it probably was.
Maybe back off the drinking and take a couple anger management classes. Might be a little late for that, you're probably pretty settled in your ways by now.
Quote:Never found long actions chambered for short action cartridges that appealing. Nor Tikkas, for that matter.......
Quote:Others shoot just as well, and leave less to be desired.......
Quote:Here is a pic of Tikka action on top. PITA to single feed IME. Small ejection port. Only come in one action length and utilize a bolt-stop to accomodate the shorter cartridges. Those facts, coupled with all the plastic parts(magazine, bolt shroud), and the most unsubstantial recoil lug I have seen, are enough to steer me away from it. Replacement parts are WAY expensive, customer service is bad, and after market parts are non-existent. Plus I find the euro-styling to be somewhat less than attractive. The factory rings also suck, by the way. Other than that, I love Tikkas........
That's valuable stuff, after the guy has already bought the rifle. It's almost as if you're trying to make him regret the decision. Maybe he will and maybe he won't, that's called "learning from your mistakes" if he does.
Having some self-proclaimed "firearms expert" pontificate on why everyone that's not hanging from Remington's nuts is a "dumbazz" and an idiot for not running it past you first is insulting.
The phrase "pretentious self-described expert" comes to mind.
Other than that, I'm sure you're a really nice guy.
