Yeah, I misspoke on the extractor. I used to say the triggers were user adjustable, but having to remove epoxy covering the set screw that voids the warranty kinda isn't really user adjustable. Not for the average user anyway. Also, I find that it's difficult to really tune or adjust the trigger unless the spring is replaced or trimmed.
@@Bullets4Bucks I agree it's not as easy to adjust as say a Trigger Tech, but it is adjustable. I could not find where trigger adjustment specifically voids the warranty, but I can't say that it doesn't either. I've done the spring replacement on one and also clipped the spring on another and was happy with the results.
Can you get a new Sako 90 Peak in .270 to demo? That rifle looks pretty amazing and im very curious I think that rifle in .270 would be the modern choice of Jack O'Connor
I usually aim at the corners of the red squares for a smaller aiming point and the zero was a adjusted between some of these samples. Both are very accurate
I'd consider a Howa if they made LH which they do not. I now own multiple Tikka rifles and, for me, there are multiple reasons to go with Tikka 1. One action length 2. for $8 you can put a lighter trigger spring in it and get it to 1 pound or close 3. Despite their non integrated recoil lug, the fact is, their system works and works very well 4. I primarily buy factory hunting rifles with the possibility of doing some aftermarket (custom) work to them Example: I can buy a used LH Tikka on gunbroker, say, in 270WSM (simply not popular anymore), and easily convert it to a 7PRC. My gunsmith can modify the bolt stop for $20 to make it long action. I can replace the polymer mag with a long action for $20. Trigger spring $8. And, where I buy my barrels, they can match a Tikka factory contour barrel and I can use the factory stock if I want. A new barrel is $320 and to cut crown and chamber it is another $275, bead blast is around $40. Muzzle thread: $50. Or I can have cerakote for $200 - I've done both Used tikka: $550 Finished out hand lapped cut rifled 4 groove barrel: $645 (cut crown chamber thread muzzle) Spring: $8 (Factory Tikka trigger pulls at 1 pound) Bolt stop mod: $20 (to convert to long action) Cerakote: $200 So, for $1423 I can have custom built 7PRC Tikka for less than a new Tikka Veil which retails at $1499 and is not available in 7PRC (yet anyway). I did pay another $50 to get the bolt fluted as an after thought so parts and labor were $1473. The first 3 shots were with Federal factory ELD-X ammo and measured 0.390 using a bipod and rear bag at 100 yards I also did just buy a Stocky's Stock LH Tikka ultra carbon stock on sale for $358 which has an inlet that duplicates a factory Tikka stock so no mod needed, no bedding necessary

@@imeprezime1069 understood, but as a US consumer in the middle of US, I don't want to take a brand new rifle to a gunsmith to thread the barrel. It's time for manufacturers to expect that consumers are it as a standard feature and not an option.

Great thumbnail picture of the tikka, too bad you didn’t take it yourself.
HACT triggers are absolutely user adjustable. The extractor is M16 style on the Howa, they are a bit different than the Sako type.

thanks for the video
You're welcome

Since you do so many reviews, I think a scale would do a lot to keep manufactures honest.
Great review
The groups shifting POI on the Howa, would piss me off. Something is wrong there. The Tikka definitely shoots better, but what do you expect???
I usually aim at the corners of the red squares for a smaller aiming point and the zero was a adjusted between some of these samples. Both are very accurate
That's odd. I have a Carbon Elevate in 6.5 PRC, and it's completely free floated all the way to the recoil lug.

Is there any chance you could do a review on the newest 4.3lbs(16 inches barrel) howa superlite short?
Yes
I'll stick with my Benelli Lupo Walnut. Nice rifles though
still stick with the tikka.

I'll keep my savage 110
Tikka: lost me at "not threaded". No go in 2024.
Depends on the model of the Tikka.
Facts. I chose a Bergara b-14 ridge over the t3x because it had a threaded barrel🤷🏻♂️

Keep in mind that they are not threaded only in US, rest of the world almost every single Tikka is threaded.
