they're very excellent rifles even if you ignore the price point


I threw shade on them when they first became popular because I didn’t really know any better, but they’re the best no frills hunting tool on the market. You can buy one knowing it’s gonna shoot about an inch and a half with any ammo you put in it, and will cycle no matter what. Making one with wire EDM and nitride is like putting autozone hood scoops and chrome hub caps on a 2001 tacoma.

To flip this on its head a bit, what will a 700 clone do that this tikka clone can’t?

but maybe it will prompt tikka to sell bare actions one day if these hit.

Actually you can already buy bare actions or barreled actions at J&A Outdoors.
I've been thinking about putting together a single shot handgun in 6.5 PRC using the Tikka Semi Custom Rifle Builder feature.

Accept nearly every accessory, stock/chassis, trigger, and bottom metal ever made with precision shooting in mind. That world is just all in on the r700 footprint. With enough money and time you can make it into a plenty precise rifle but the options are much more limited, especially with triggers and bottom metals. Maybe this will make more companies make them, would be nice.
