Tikka 695

[Metalhead0483]

I think it's time for a new hunting rifle. The owner of the gun shop in town is a buddy of mine, and he's got a Tikka 695 in 338 Win Mag that he's had in back for years and never sold. It's a NIB blued synthetic that has one of the smoothest bolts and nicest triggers I've ever felt in a stock hunting rifle. I know there's mixed feelings about the T3's on the 'Hide, but i haven't heard much about the 695's. The guy wants $500 out the door. Thoughts?

I had one in 338 win mag and would not hesitate to buy another one. They are very accurate and are a great value. I still have one in 300 wm

I dont know what you mean by fixed feelings. I know most all Tikka owners are happy with the accuracy out of them. The 695 is the long action compared to the 595 which is the short action. Ive got the master sporter which has the 595 action and it very accurate for a production rifle. It will shoot .5moa with handloads. There a very smooth action, good adjustable trigger, and good barrels. All Tikkas must shoot a 3 shot group under 1" at 100yds before leaving the factory.

Buy it!

They also make great target rifles.

There have been some pretty ugly arguments about that on the 'hide since I joined.
