Grew up shooting Tikkas, (In New Zealand ) have had 5 of them over 25+ years. They are notorious for barrel overheating and bedding issues. Normally the action/bolt fit and performance is awesome right out of the box.With a bit of tuning all of my rifles shot .2-.3 MOA and they were cheap and basic setups. I would be contacting Sako/Tikka asking for a replacement if theyre is an obvious workmanship fault. I think they would come to the party..
