Two Tikka 308 rifles - M65 Supersporter and ultra rare M65A
Posted: Tue Dec 18, 2012 6:38 am
Guys,
I continue to have a need to release funds and as my TMR1 foxing rifle isn't moving I'm going to try these two as well. If both go there will then be a sale of reloading dies and components in 308.
The rifles:
I have owned both for about ten years and both have been shot 2/3 times yearly with my total round count in the hundreds rather than the thousands but please note that I have no previous history to go with these lovely old Tikkas. Both shoot well, the M65 Supersporter certainly does well for me at the local 600 yard gallery range. The M65A has seen rather less use other than as a spare stalking rifle.
Tikka M65 Supersporter
I think this may have been someone's TR rifle in the past. The barrel which appears to carry Tikka factory markings is fluted and turned down at the muzzle, presumably for fitting a foresight. Large bolt knob fitted, the stock has been refinished in clear varnish with a Tikka sticker on the adjustable cheekpiece. Comes fitted with 20x Supersniper type scope with rear adjust parallax. Bipod not fitted.
I'm asking £500 for this shooter.
Tikka M65A
You know what this is - rarer than unicorn poo!
Selling this is like letting go of grandfather's watch but times being what they are...
Everything works, nothing is broken, standard factory fit bipod, the stock adjusts every which way. Currently fitted with a Leupold scope (details to follow) and quick adjust sling. Certainly not shot out, I've put maybe 75 rounds through in the last 4 years.
I may be able to find some spares, I think there's a second mag somewhere but for the rifle as per the image in view of its rarity value I'm asking £800.
In both cases any cost of inter RFD transfer to be met by the buyer.
