• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

I know that modern Tikka's are the little brothers of Sako's, but I don't see much if anything, about Tikka rifles on this site. I just bought a Tikka 595 Whitetail Hunter in .223 Remington, and am really looking forward to receiving it.

Is there any interst in Tikka's here, or perhaps on another website?
 
The founders of this website intended its use for Sako and Tikka collectors. So, yes, we can talk about Tikka rifles, and any other guns built by the Finns. I'm not familiar with the new Tikkas at all, but do know about and own some of the older model 65s (LSA-65s) imported under the Ithaca brand name. These rifles are excellent shooters with excellent quality.

My Tikka came in yesterday and while it lacks the beauty of my Sako L579, it's a very nice rifle considering what I paid for it. I can't wait to shoot it and hope that it lives up to expectations regarding accuracy.

I'm not familiar with Tikka's, especially the older models, but this is a model 595, which has been discontinued, or at least is no longer imported by Beretta. The new T3 model replaced it and I don't know what the differences are between the two. Are the T3's better or worse than the 595/695 series?

I was also shocked to learn that the plastic magazine for a Tikka 595 is selling for $85.00 or more on eBay. There should be a law against that. That's a 1/4th of the price I paid for the whole rifle.

The target version of the 595 gets rave reviews. Does anyone know where I might be able to find the target stock?
 
Can't see much difference in quality between older Tikkas and T3. Good working rifles. Old Tikkakoski made (not Sako) Tikkas were pure jewels worth in their weight in gold,but also Sako has until recently made good guns.
