Of course. Nobody lumped the Tikka into the $10k club brother. But it ain't no RA. That's for damn sure.
But people are comparing a RA with a rifle that costs twice as much. Just saying.
I go to the range with my BIL who has a custom rig built off a Rem 700 action that I think has about $5k into, and I'm slumming a Ruger American (both in 6.5CM) that I did a little upgrading to. We can both hit the same targets out to 1k yds. His rifle can definitely do it a tad easier, but not on a scale that matches the price increase. Its the same deal with RA and Tikka. Is the Tikka twice the rifle as the RA like the price should reflect? I don't think so. Thats just my opinion.
I think that the quality of product for the price that Ruger offers is a game changer. Again JMO.
