I am thinking getting a tikka roughtech in 7mm. Was wondering if anyone had any feedback they could share. TIA
 
I bought a 308 Roughtech in 308 a couple of months ago. Not a lot of rounds down the tube, but with Hornady Black 168 AMax it’s a sub MOA shooter. Same with my 168 SMK hand loads. I went 4-5 at on a 12” plate at 710 yds yesterday while I was working up loads for another rifle. The only upgrade I’ve made is putting the vertical grip on it. They are extremely good rifles for the money.

I appreciate the insight. Sounds like my bonus check is spent lol.
 
I actually ordered one but didn’t take delivery of it. Picked it up and it just didn’t connect with me. The stock was super fugly. Sent it back and bought a Sako.

The stock is the only thing I don’t like about the look. But I’m willing to compromise for the fluted stainless barrel with the muzzle break.

The action is spectacular too.

But I just couldn’t get past that stock. I thought it was going to be more a dark grey w red spider webs but it was black with orange paint splattered on it by a kindergartener. Felt like one of those cheap off brand foam footballs.

Does your Sako have the spider webs on it? What model do you have?
 
If you wanted a 308 I’d tell you to get a Remington 5R Stainless for the money you’ll spend on a roughtech.

But I’m biased

The stocks are the only thing is dislike about the Tikkas. They are fugly and feel cheap, but the work.

I planning on grabbing one of the KRG Echos for my 308 as soon as they hit the market.
 
The tikka actions are spectacular. They make a great gun at a great price. And normally an ugly stock wouldn’t give me pause but it’s not exactly easily replaceable like others.
