    thanks man. I'm like a kid on Christmas...

    I'm looking to get involved in long range precision shooting. I used to shoot CMP but my eyes don't do the open sights any more. I looked at other rifles both more and less expensive and this one seems to cover all the bases for me, at least long enough to get started and I know what I prefer...

    is there any difference in the barrel between the A1 and the CTR? The Tikka is on my short list for getting back into PRS/f-class shooting and while I definitely want a chassis setup, I'm not sold on the one sold with the A1.

    same barrel and action. CTR has single stage trigger, TikTac has 2 stage, 3 mags, muzzle break, and of course folding chassis...

    Ladder test completed today, weather even cooperated- wind at 15 MPH S/W.

    Been running RL16 with 6.5 CM due to temp insensitivity and velocity.

    Couple 3 shot groups (ladder test) @ 41.5 gr., 100 yds. Grid/squares are 3/4", each quadrant 3/8".
    Darn thing shoots.
    One thing I've noticed with all (5) of the 6.5 CM's I've developed loads for is nearly anything I've loaded will shoot well, in either bolt or gas gun.

    The Howa HCR is a sleeper. Consistently good shooters in the few I have shot and witnessed. <$1K.

    Heard good things of Ruger PR regarding accuracy. Personally wouldn't own one due to corporate politics.
    Sure there are others.

    I was really looking into these for a while. What i found in research for $1400-$1800:
    Taca1
    Howa HCR
    Bergara BMP $1400
    Bergara LRP - $1700 with premier parts and xlr element chassis

    The bergara ltp elite has an ORIAS chassis and is around/over $2000
    On the other end, they have an HMR for $1000.

    Anything lighter with a folding stock? Sub 8lbs and Sub 2k?

    Not that I'm aware of.
    Precision guns are pretty much boat anchors. While Bergara and Tikka both produce lighter weight "hunters" (which are capable of extreme accuracy) A folder isn't offered in the lighter configuration.

    Even starting with an 8# gun, you're gonna end up with an 11 to 12# gun fully kitted (optics/rail/rings/muzzle device/whatever).
