I have a chance at picking up a TIKKA 595 Sporter at a Real Good Price. Who has one of these and tell me all about it The Good The Bad and The Ugly. This one is in .308 (my favorite cal) What can I expect from it ?
                       Thanks  Bob :D

I also have one in 243.  I really like it and it is a shooter.  I see no weak points in this rifle including the polymer trigger guard or bolt shroud.  I would love to have one in .308
