    My decision matrix looks like this;

    Tikka CTR - $890 shipped.
    2 extra mags - $200.
    KRG X-Ray chasis - $600.

    So I'm about $200 less than the TAC A1 should run. TAC A1 gives a folder chassis with M-LOK compatibility, 2 stage trigger, 24" barrel length.... for a cost of another $200-$300.
    Just based upon weight, go KRG! It's a heavy gun. I wouldn't spend the extra money, besides you can run AICS mags or the magpul mags out of the KRG chassis. I love mine

    Where are you seeing the CTR for 890 shipped? I am in the same boat as you, but I seem to be seeing them everywhere for 1000? like this https://www.riflegear.com/p-6581-tik...creedmoor.aspx

    Not original poster, and not to go too far off topic, but recently got a CTR 6.5cm stainless for the best price I had seen at Whittaker guns. Outstanding service and shipping as well - my first online gun purchase.

    They are under 900 now from several retailers. TSS Warehouse is one.

    I'm kind of leaning towards the CTR, since this is a range toy and not a competition rifle I'm not sure I would appreciate the improvements the TAC offers over a separate chassis setup. Plus I can get the X Ray in Sako green and have one more non black rifle in my safe.

    weight isn't really an issue for me, and I like the T3X chassis..mags...meh..comes with three which will be plenty for me in all honesty, and they also claim to be trying to get the price on those down as well...

    just waiting for bonus time in march

    I'm considering a CTR once this upcoming season is over. Chassis of the TAC A1 doesn't look bad, but I find myself pining after a Cadex and then running $30 Magpul AICS of which I already have a few so the stock chassis isn't value added for me. Sell the CTR mags on the secondary market to recoup some costs and see if I can find the TAC A1 trigger for sale as well.

    Edit: Appears I was mistaken. Magpul AI mags won't seat in the tikka action.
