[QUOTE="vonb, post: 5307809, member: 2877"] I have both Howa and Tikka. Howa is a fine action and built like a tank. One piece bolt with feeding and extraction being super smooth. However, the stock is the weak link on some of their models. The HACT triggers are good but not great. They have minimal adjustment range unless you want to replace trigger springs. The Hogue stocks are worthless and have a long(er) length of pull. I replaced mine with a B&C and have been very happy. The Nikko scopes offered with them are budget base and you'll most likely want to replace. Tikka on the other hand has an excellent action and an excellent trigger. Feeding and extraction is the smoothest of any factory action (and some custom actions). Triggers are more adjustable than Howa. Tikka barrels seem to be a little slower than other barrels but that can be made up with hand loads. All that said, I like them both but if buying today, it'd be a Tikka si that I could run as is out of the box. [/QUOTE]
