I've always liked tikka's. They're known for their accuracy and exceptionally smooth action. Their light weight can cut both ways. As "carjunkie" implied, good for a hunting rifle which will be carried all day, but not so good as a range toy if chambered for a more powerful cartridge.
This may not be an objection to some people, but it's always been a downside for me. Last time I checked, tikka's only come in one action length: long. It seems a waste for the shorter cartridges. All the other rifle makers offer actions to match the cartridge length. Why can't tikka do the same?
I've never been a fan of the plastic magazine, which seems a little flimsy and expensive, although I've never heard of one breaking. Again, because of the single, long action length, a .223 magazine is hugely disproportionate and drastically blocked.
All that being said, a few years ago, a fellow shooter had a wood stocked, hunter model tikka for sale. It was chambered for 6.5x55mm. After wavering for a bit, I turned it down. Than decision quickly became one which I've always regretted.
