Tikkas are really nice have a awesome trigger from the factory the only thing i dont like is the bolt feels cheap and loose to much slop in it if they would tighten up the bolt a bit it would be a perfect rifle in my opinion, the slop in the bolt is enough for me to have to choose a remington over the tikka. except I would choose the tikka over the remington 710 now thats a cheap feeling gun altogether that 710 is like the jennings of rifles and anyone who has used a jennings pistol knows what i mean.

Scheels here does not knock the new Remingtons. I have had at least one new Remington every year or two for thirty years. They all shot great from the box. This includes my last two. A 22-250 and a 257 Roberts. Both 700 ADL Synthetics. I will no longer own anything but synthetic stocks. I would go with the Remington because of thirty years of excellent service and products. I have no problem with Tikka. Just great expierence with Remingtons.

Dry fire both guns before you make your decision... Se how the Remington fires. I personally do not like their triggers (I know they are adjustable). Yes, I agree Remingtons have a good reputation for being accurate out of the box. But Tikka is really making a name for themselves. I do think, in general, the Tikka bolt is a little rough on some I have seen, if they can fix that it would be an amazing gun.

if you dont like synethtic you can get the laminate stainless. It looks beautiful.

Well I took my new Remington 700 BDL to the range yesterday first time ever i shot it ..pretty windy because of Ivan but still a good day. With Remington 150 grain corelockt ammo it put 3 in 1/2" and just under an inch with 5 rounds. I would hate to see what it would do with a good barrel.
