All around big game hunting rifle

Does anyone know alot about the Tikkas? I have a friend that really likes em', i was considering a browning, tikka, savage, or remington. What's your input on these?

[T43]

Everyone I know that has one loves it. The plastic mag in the ultralite has raised some concerns with people on other forums but I have plastic mags in my Glock that hit the ground all the time and I have only had one issue so an occasional accidental drop with the Tikka mag wouldn't concern me.

I have a Tikka in 300wsm I like it. I also have a Savage 110 in 270 that I like as well.

[jay]

which is more accurate?

[dito]

I'd have to say they are about the same.

[Bobby Swaggs]

As far as I know each of those brands is pretty close accuracy wise. I will say that the Savage AccuTrigger is pretty fantastic. I also know Remington's new X-Mark Pro trigger is really light and crisp and is externally adjustable. I can't speak to the quality of the Browning or Tikka triggers, but I know a good trigger goes a long way to helping out accuracy so its something you might what to go to a gun shop and test out for yourself.

I have 2 brownings x-bolt , one in a 300 winchester magnum and a .270 WSM they both are fantastic guns and shoot very accurate, the best I have. I find my .270 kicks a little more but shoots 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards.

whats the difference between the x bolt and the a bolt?

About $1000

I think its hard to beat a 7mm Rem Mag, especially when its stoked with 160gr Accubonds. My personal favorite is a Winchester Model 70 Classic sporter. Not too heavy to tote but heavy enough to settle in when you're winded or the breeze is a little stiff.
