I need to branch out from modified military and am pondering production class. The Savage BVSS appeals to me, but a local knowledgeable shooter recommends the Tikka Varminter, no longer in production, for it's bore. I think the Savage success speaks for itself, but has anyone experience with the Tikka? The .308 varminter is no longer available in the States, but the Tikka T3 Tac appears to have a great bore.
I don't mind having to grow into a rifle skills-wise. At 67 there's not alot of time to work with Heavy 30 BR, but I want to be competitive as possible. Thanks for any replies and opinions.
