Repairs are run out of Beretta USA and getting a replacement was a hassle because they didn't have any. There was a HUGE shortage at the time. I had to locate a spare so I could shoot and then send them mine and wait for the next shipment. It was a pain. It turns out that Tikka had a run of 223 mags that were assembled with the spring in wrong. I think that's the main problem with dealing with imports is shortages of replacement parts. And unless the magazine supply has gotten better you don't want to lose the one that came with it and spares are like $60-70. Don't get me wrong though I love my 30-06 and will never part with it. Do plan on investing in a Limbsaver though. Tikkas weigh nothing and a limbsaver will help tame the recoil a lot.
I will be selling two other Tikkas (local only) but mainly because I never shoot them. The 30-06 does everything I need.
