I’ve been reading and researching for months now and have been dead set on the Tikka, but got to drool over the Daniel Defense at the LGS today and it’s an absolute unit! I have not had the chance to fondle the Tikka yet. I’m thinking either would be in 6.5 CM.
Primary use would be to keep up with my uncles and cousins on the family farm where there are targets at 100 out to 1000ish yards and in between. I keep stretching my limits with my .223 AR but need something more to keep up with the big boys.
My uncle prefers his old school German Mauser in 30-338 but suggested I get the Tikka in 6.5 and I have read many good things about it here and elsewhere. The DD I haven’t researched or heard as much about yet, but know they make a fine AR.
Anything else I should be considering in that price range? The tikka is $1900, DD at $2500 and probably top of my budget.
