So I got my TAC A1 last Saturday and have yet to try it out at the range. Legally I wasn't able to get the folding stock model so obviously finished up with the fixed stock. Downside, difficult, near impossible to bore sight and cleaning is also a problem having to pass the cleaning rod, patch and chemicals, through the cheek riser. I hope the upsides at the range outweigh the downside.
@Shootingintheshires91 Жыл бұрын
Hi Andy. Can I ask why you weren't allowed the folding stock version legally? I was planning on getting this rifle and the folding stock was one of the big selling points for me.....
@andymann271 Жыл бұрын
Hi Sam, the folding stock or any means by which a firearm can be rmore easily concealed is prohibited either by the Firearms Act or the Firearms Regulations in Western Australia. I don't know where you are but talk to your local dealer, they'll know what the rules are for your location. Really nice firearm though I absolutely love it. I fixed the bore sighting problem by drilling a small hole in the buttplate backing and solved the cleaning problem by removing the cheek riser each time I clean it. Some 1500 rounds have gone through it now, brilliant.

Hi CJ, great video and review, thank you. Sorry if this was already mentioned somewhere in the video. Is the rifle in the video a 20" or 24" barrel? In other KZbin videos, they mention that you get 2 magazines and you can get a free 3rd magazine posted when registering the gun. Do you know if that's only for certain countries? Many thanks.

@shootmcrunfast5 жыл бұрын
Remember that you guys get a magazine offer that is very generous on the Tikka. Out of the 2 my preference is for the Tikka over the RPR, it feels far more solid and even given the difference in cost that you guys in the US are seeing I would go for the Tikka. I suppose that it is down to that fact that both rifles are not native, the Tikka is just easier and therefore cheaper to import. This is obviously a far more extreme variation than we see in the UK where as you guys in the US are seeing the exact opposite. Out of the 2 I would still go for the Tikka though, it is an exceptional rifle.
