The whole "10 a day" wasn't a number in the post you were referencing. It was as a percent.
Also Tikka makes the ctr in 7 calibers of which only 4 are available in the US. In all Tikka makes t3's of various flavors in 21 chamberings.
For historical interest to 6.5 caliber rounds in general. 6.5 Swede (no familial relation to 6.5 creed) goes back to 1893. Still in use today and available in certain t3 flavors.
30-01 goes back to 1901, becomes 30-03 in 1903, becomes 30-06 in 1906, experimented on to become 308 in the 40's (to replicate 30-06) but released to civilian in 1952. 308 actually uses 300 Savage as parent material.
At least here on Snipers Hide Tikkas are known to be very good guns with one of the best factory triggers. They are brought up and recommended more when somebody is wanting to get started with something cheaper.
A little advice. The Hide is a place where adults treat each other as adults with some good natured ribbing. Earlier on you were coming in a little strongly defensive and seemingly taking offense. None was meant.
Slow your roll. Take a breath. There is plenty of history here with lots of people giving good free advice if you are willing to listen and learn. There are people here shooting all calibers and all types of scopes as well. They are all good people, even those shooting 6mm Gay Tiger and MOA (note this is an example of good natured ribbing).
Another good thing to learn from our HMFIC. Barrels are tires.
