And of course we have also Lapua and Vihtavuori 
I got my first Sako some 20 years back. It was a P94S Finnfire 22lr. A year or so later I bought my next gun which was a Sako 75 SS 30-06. I use these for hunting but it has been few busy years so I haven't used those a lot lately.
Last autumn my friend took me shooting long range with his TRG22 .308 and I was sold. I started to look a Tikka T3X Tac A1 or TRG22 260rem but somehow I found second hand 25 shots fired Tikka T3 CTR 260rem 20" without X in absolute mint condition. I prefer 260 over 6.5CM because we have equally poor availability for factory ammo In Finland. I had a tight budget and I got a great deal of that Tikka, Burris fullview SFP scope (which I already traded to more suitable cheap FFP MRAD/MRAD scope), suppressor, Harris like bipod, Lapua brass and some other items so I took it. I also needed a reloading equipment (I haven't done that before), steel targets, gun cabinet, cleaning equipments and so on so every cent counts I have everything in excel and I really have made a best of my budget! I would prefer longer barrel, two stage trigger and pistol grip but you cannot have all every time. And I somehow like the smaller ejector port in T3 and bolt shrout is easy and cheap to replace.
I'm still waiting for some already ordered equipments to arrive but my Tikka is ready for first shots. At some point I need to do something for OEM stock which is horrible. My scope could be lower and I definitely need a higher cheek pad like kalix teknik or some nice chassis. I would go for a MDT LSS-XL in a heartbeat but I want to use TRG mags which I really love. Longer and faster barrel would be sweet but we will see. And of course timney two stage trigger, labradar and laser rangefinder with MRAD reticle
I'm here because there is a loads of things to learn and I hope that at some point I can give something back. There is some good conversation also in Finland and I'm happy to share when I can. I also visited in Los Angeles and Las Vegas few weeks back and I really enjoyed visiting gun small gun stores and also found some reloading stuff there even though 6.5CM seems to be way more common in USA than 260rem.
Sorry for long post and bad English but I hope that it's at least readable. I really enjoy to be here
