Tikka is a subset of SAKO and SAKO is now owned by Beretta. In fact, the Beretta holding group now owns a big chunk of European arms makers and other firearms related industries.
Finland has a long history of producing quality firearms, particularly rifles. SAKO has really mastered the art of high quality at a reasonable cost.
The adoption on the C19 rifle by the Canadian Rangers is a strong endorsement of the Tikka brand. The C19 is a licensed built version of the Tikka T3. The C19 is manufactured by Colt Canada (a Canadian subsidiary of Colt and Colt is now owned by CZ- try to get your head around all of that
) In any event, the Tikka line of SAKO rifles appears to be a lot of quality for the money.
