Fine I’ll say it, you boomers are a bunch of nostalgic fudeyduddies.
Tikka action > Mauser
Those old things are janky pieces of crap.
Wood super silly and dumb.
Blued what kinda idiot…
In summation a Tikka veil is but every measure a much better rifle than a pre-64 model 70, husky-whatever. Anyone paying for the latter is not paying for performance rather, trying to reconnect with their youth… ain’t happening btw.
Ps.
@Ben Lamb and
@BrentD still looking for a good side by side… there is something about the Parker I really like, definitely want a 16.

I kinda like the beat up ones if I’m being honest. Kinda like the idea of taking out a gun that’s been hunted.
Pss found a local shop that has boxes and boxes of the cardboard shells in 16… thinking I will go buy them all out preemptively.
