Looking for a rifle for deer season and have decided i want a tikka, I’ve never bought from gunpost or had a rifle shipped that wasnt from a retailer.

Hmmmm well tikka is great, .308 is great. My only concern is the muzzle break. If it's clamp on no problem but if it's been threaded, if be careful. Tikkas have very thin barrels and gunsmiths usually won't do that work because there's not much material to work with.

I'm suspicious of used guns, it's possible a rookie threaded the barrel and now it's an inaccurate rifle, or a rifle one drop away from disaster.

Don't know what you are talking about. A lot of tikkas have muzzle devices. Almost everyone I know that has a tikka has had a muzzle brake added to it. Mine was threaded 1/2-28 by a gunsmith ans is still super accurate. Sure if it was done by an amature it can affect shit but this is true for any rifle
