Whittakers is the best. I bought one of the blued rifles a few months ago, and it's a typical Tikka. Boringly accurate.

Guys I’m almost certain the left handed group buy is over. I’d post a link to it here but it’s from another forum that has a subsection called “the lefty forum”.

If it came with I threaded barrel, then I'd probably be in.

It's $50 to have it threaded, or you can get the CTR with a threaded, medium contour barrel, 10-round mag, and vertical grip stock for $800. IMHO, the CTR is the best value on the market for low/medium-budget precision shooting performance.

At 7.5 lbs, it's easy to carry around.

Yup, I like mine for all those reasons. If it came with I threaded barrel, then I'd probably be in.

An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

In the mean time, Buzzard will be spending 3X the price chasing a "high end" rifle that can't hang with the Tikka, hater! Uncle Buzz, please just try one and you'll like it. Specifically, I suggest you get one in 223 with a 1:8 twist heavy barrel. You can give it a try and then sell it to me for 50% the price. You'll lose less than you will on those "high end" rifles and we'll both be very happy.
I was wrong...on anything technical. Fitz............. is right, ya know............
