Hoppe's lasted more than 20 years

Get some Montana Xtreme bore solvent. That will keep your sinuses clear .

Great handle !

Been a Tikka user since 1999… first one was a 595 SS/synthetic 7-08

Have convinced many people to consider/use them

Favorite caliber has to be the 6.5x55 !

Tikka emblem/meaning…Woodpecker…Hits the same hole over and over !

There may be better things to clean with, but nothing beats the smell of #9

Hoppe’s BR9 is great too

Doubles as cologne !

Hi Bob.
My very first rifle was a left hand Tikka 690 in 6.5x55. I took my first deer with it. It is now barreled in 6.5x284. They are indeed a fine rifle.
