Any Tikka .350 owners in the building?

Thinking about getting a Tikka in .350 and would love some real feedback. Is it a good choice?

Pretty tough to go wrong with a Tikka anything. The 350 Legend on the other hand may draw some criticism. Lots of people that own them are questioning their decision based on the performance on deer. Personally I think it's the shooters not knowing their guns enough to take the slightly longer shots with them and in turn, losing their wounded deer. Many blame it in the bullet construction but accuracy is paramount and there are some good bullets made for the 350. The Tikka decision is a sound one.

Absolutely, that aligns perfectly with what I’ve been observing. It’s hard to come across anyone who’s not satisfied with a Tikka. The whole .350 Legend thing seems to stem from people wanting it to do more than it’s designed for. I’m not planning on taking it to extremes, I just want to keep my shots within a reasonable range and get familiar with the rifle. It sounds like, with the right ammo and some practice, it’ll perform well. Appreciate your input!
