Yes this is the lite.Not sure how much the whole pagage would be
as I bought the rifle and addad the mod and scope
The gun on its own is around £850 I have seen them in a few
shops at between £780 and £850 I traded a howa 1500 for this
gun.

I had problems with the Howa 1500 it failed to lift the round
from the box magazine a few times when out lamping foxes
It became unreliable and I sent it back to highland outdoors
they fitted the rifle with a removable magazine conversion kit
Free of charge. The howa was a great accurate gun but heavy. The
tikka is a better built gun and never let's me down.
Howa let me down to many times not feeding the rounds.

I'd say you made a good move there with the Tikka, Tom.
UK Gunworks do a replacement trigger spring for the Tikka which
gives you a nice clean break.
If I could make one observation about your kit, you seem to have
the medium optilock rings fitted. Am I right? You'd get away
with, probably, the extra low ones with that scope. It'd bring
the scope a lot closer to the bore and would give you much
better cheek weld on the cheek piece of the stock, leading to
better accuracy.

Al
Your right the mounts are for a 50mm or 56mm scope the vortex is
44mm I could do with replacing them for Medium mounts that would
bring it closer to the barrel. There is nothing wrong with the
mounts I shoot well with the set up but its something I could
improve. Any idea how much a set or medium or low optilck mounts
would cost
