Very nice vintage TIKKA of Finland.
Grouped better than 1 MOA using vintage military ammo. I expect with hand loading the rifle is capable of even improving on this. Note that typical hunting rifles run around 3 to 7 MOA new. That’s how good this vintage Finn is.
Original mag, factory sights. Tikka have a groove to accept Tikka scope mounts and also are drilled and tapped. Rifle comes with new Weaver bases specific for Tikka.
This rifle is counterbored to correct damage to bore near crown. I had intended to drill radial vents to create a muzzle brake, but didn’t do so. So, if you want to cut recoil just have gunsmith add 4 holes in a V location.
I avoid bargaining and instead lower price until sold. Send your email for higher resolution photos and post code for postage quote. I have placed weaver mounts (free with the rifle if wanted) and a scope so I can accuracy test. See photo of rifle with scope and of counterbore.
