Someone close to me just bought a bergara and trigger is exceptional right out of the box. Haven't handled a tikka personally but have always heard good things about them.

Tikka is bad arse out of the box. I haven’t shot a Bergara, but Tikka and Bergara feel really similar to me in the store.

I think I’m going to buy a Bergara here in the next couple weeks and use it as the gun I keep under the seat all year for coyotes and hogs around the farm.
