Materials used, manufacturing process, fit and finish, Over all quality, etc...
Comparing these two rifles.
Stocks -
Winchester is a solid fiber glass, aramid, and graphite filled stock with aluminum bedding block, aluminium reinforced wrist, with a Pachmayr decelerator recoil pad and epoxy gel coat. The tikka stock is injection molded polymer with a hard rubber recoil pad.
Receiver -
*Winchesters actions are sized to the length of the cartridge. Tikka is one size fits all.
*Winchester has a controled round feed bolt and claw extractor. Tikka is a push feed bolt. *Winchester has a coned breech face. Tikka has a 90 degree bolt face.
*Winchesters safety is vastly superior to any safety currently on any other bolt action rifle.
*Winchesters bottom metal is real metal. Tikka's is polymer.
*Winchester has an integrated recoil lug machined into the receiver. Tikka's recoil lug is a piece of metal pressed into the stock that fits a slot milled into the receiver.
Just to name a few.
Comparing these two rifles is like comparing a bottle of fine wine with a some Boons Farm you get from the grocery store.

The best thing to do is go to a Gun Shop and check out the different Rifles available,I really like the looks and quality of the Browning Rifles,they are well made and perform nicely,my Browning A-bolt Hunter in a .243 is a great looking and shooting Rifle.I also bought a new Savage Model 11 GCNS 7mm-08 with the wood stock in a bolt-action...its a great looking Rifle and is made very good,I like the Accu-trigger and its a very well made gun.
If I had more money I would like to get a Kimber Rifle,A Weatherby,a Wichester and the Tikka that was mentioned earlier....I'm thinking the next Rifle on my list is going to be a CZ-USA American in a .204 for Predators and Varmints...I've got several nice Deer Rifles,just need to get something different in a smaller caliber that is fast and can reach out and put down a Coyote,Bobcat or Fox?
