    I picked up the latest rpr last month. That's the one to get. Beats everything on your list except for probably your custom. I have a full custom $5k M40A5. Got the new rpr for $1700. Accuracy/consistency wise, the rpr is right up there with the M40

    I was just looking at a PGW 6.5. Havent seen them alot in the last few years.

    • @CDNprecision
      @CDNprecision  3 months ago +1

      Yeah PGW is pretty quiet. they don't seem to push much for marketing or sponsoring that i've seen. could be one of the best products ever, but without marketing, its pointless

    If my budget was $2300 for a target/ prs rifle i'd take the B14 HMR over the Tikka in the chassis, I would use the $700+ in savings to throw an Area 419 arca rail on the HMR stock and a TT special or diamond trigger and a good muzzle brake. The tikka is not one bit more accurate than the Bergara but replacing parts and mags is damn expensive in comparison. Same for the savage 110 Elite Precision. I have one and love it but the aftermarket trigger options leave alot to be desired coming off Triggertechs. The finish also isnt up to par with Bergara or Tikka. Aside from the smoothness of Tikka actions i will never understand what all the rave is about unless you compare off the shelf to off the shelf. Even then, I have to give the off the shelf to bergara nowadays since the tikka doesnt do anything better, costs more and has worse aftermarket support.

      Have both. Seekins is really good, 0.5 moa, love the barrel change. 9/10. Tikka is 0.34 moa. Most accurate budget rifle

  • @acushley1
    @acushley1 4 months ago

    I think you forgot the Bergara B14 BMP. I'd swap it on your list for the RPR and leave the RPR off the list. Glad to see the Tikka TAC A1 was left off the list. I love Tikka, but to me the RPR and TAC A1 had all sorts of issues for their price point and it made more sense to buy a used barreled action (e.g. Bergara B14 or Tikka CTR or light and eventually replace barrel) and drop it in an MDT chassis.

      I don't know about the others, but as a lefty, I bought the Bergara B14 HMR as my first left-handed bolt action as a gift to myself, and I have been quite happy with it. Be aware of the weight if you also plan on hoofing it in the woods with it.

  • @joshbrown284
    @joshbrown284 4 months ago +1

    Bergara only kept their price the same because you may or may not get a good one. That company has terrible QC.

    Bergara in Europe has skyrocketed in price. Howa still cheap. Savage cheaper like Bergara. The best price/quality is offered by Howa, CZ and Sabatti.

    i got my Tikka ace target in 6.5 CM midnight bronze for only $1800. still trying to find out the best ammo for it though, i've only brought it out twice and tried 7 different ammo. started w/ the cheapest and working my way up.

    • @paulkainer269

      @paulkainer269I found on my Tikka T3x Ace Target in 6.5 CM to be the Federal Premium Gold Medal with 140gr Sierra Matchking. Excellent consistency at 300yds for 3x300 competition. In second place is the Hornady 140 gr ELD Match.

  • @Astro-ck6mh
    @Astro-ck6mh 5 months ago +4

    I'm considering the Tikka ACE ''GAME'' in 7 PRC. In your opinion, does the lighter barrel is a deal breaker for precision/ long range target shooting?

    • @canadiangunz1
      @canadiangunz1 5 months ago +1

      yes for a 7prc a heavy barrel is it

    • @paulkainer269
      @paulkainer269 5 months ago

      There are aftermarket barrels you can get for the tikka. Just as an option to pimp your ride to your ideal tikka

    • @canadiangunz1
      @canadiangunz1 5 months ago

      get the target not the game though

    • @Astro-ck6mh
      @Astro-ck6mh 5 months ago

      ​@canadiangunz1 hopefully the target will be available in more calibers next year. It's not currently available in 7 prc or any magnum for that matter...

    • @canadiangunz1
      @canadiangunz1 5 months ago

      @Astro-ck6mh the only problem with 7prc is trying to find ammo for it. i found 3 types and i had 2 of them with chambering problems both hornady.

    what do you comment on the CADEX?

    • @CDNprecision
      @CDNprecision  5 months ago +3

      loving it, ill never sell mine. excellent in every way. the only downside i can say is the bolt isnt as smooth as some other customs. but accuracy wise its top of the line

    • @peterlkwan8316
      @peterlkwan8316 5 months ago

      ​@CDNprecisionwhat CADEX model do you recommend please?

    • @CDNprecision

      depends what the purpose is, for PRS they have the seven stars pro. it has everything and more that you could possible want

    • @Mike-590
      @Mike-590 5 months ago +1

      I feel like the cheek piece doesn’t go low enough on the pro butt stock so I took mine off and machined my own super low profile cheek plate. Got the nvd bridge kit with taller scope rail and A419 high one piece mount and it’s perfect now. It’s the xs model in 308. No regrets.

  • @MintyyOGx

    almsot 2k and up is not budget...

    • @CDNprecision
      @CDNprecision  4 months ago

      budget has many different meaning for everyone. im looking for the starting point where you see the key features show up. if you are looking at 500$ there just is nothing for precision rifles, you would be getting a hunting barrel action and then just spending more and more to make it something that it was never meant to be.

  • @peterlkwan8316
    @peterlkwan8316 5 months ago +2

    I bought a Tikka Ace Game .223 and it is not accurate. Is it because of the size of the small bullet? or the rifle? Very disappointed.

    • @canadiangunz1
      @canadiangunz1 5 months ago

      well its the game. if your shooting 55 grain nope need heavier how far are you trying to shoot it??

    • @peterlkwan8316
      @peterlkwan8316 5 months ago

      @canadiangunz1 yes I am shooting 55 grain in a 50yd indoor range. All my other rifles are 6.5 Creedmore and they perform well

    • @canadiangunz1
      @canadiangunz1 5 months ago +1

      @peterlkwan8316 try the 75 i believe it is, and tr different ammo to not just one.

    • @ZuriBasara
      @ZuriBasara 5 months ago +2

      I’m shooting 69grain out of the Tikka 223 ace game… it loves it! Also tried 73gr, 75gr & 77gr… all good with these as well…

    • @CDNprecision
      @CDNprecision  5 months ago

      people dont like them that much their action doesnt feel like a typical action, the way the rear of the bolt is and it feel a bit more clunky. aside form that, a a properly trued action and a top quality barrel is what makes a rifle and the precision elites are exactly that

    • @Henrydscout
      @Henrydscout 4 months ago

      ​Very much disagree with you on this one, as they are a great valued rifle for what you get. Anyone looking to get into a budget friendly rifle should consider them as their first rifle, and they should upgrade when they can afford something better. I believe that the value for most beginning shooters is perfect, and the shooter can work out what the gun likes.
