2-dead-in-the-air Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 How old is the above model ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 It looks like production of the Tikka M590 began on 4th April 1991, but there's no end date given (taken from the Sako website): http://www.sako.fi/pdf/datatables/SakoOldmodelsNumbering.pdf If you really need to know, call GMK quoting the rifle's serial number.

deadeye ive Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I have a M595 which is considered to be far superior to its successor the T3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plinker Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 the 595 came out in 95 so it will have been built between 1990 and 1995. nice rifles :blink: , pretty much the same as a 595 with a smaller ejection port making the action stiffer,they are a popular action to build a custom rifle on, the 595 is easier to single load though.

2-dead-in-the-air Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks guys Whats one worth in excellent condition ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I'd expect the bare gun would probably realise £450-£500, if it is in genuinely good order. They are quite hard to come by, and appear to hold their value well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plinker Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 which calibre is it? it will make a differnce to the value, also you need to try and find out how many rounds have been through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2-dead-in-the-air Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Its .222 Only a few hundred shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Buy it (if the price is right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plinker Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 same as mine then, 222 are not hard on barrels. if its in good nick i would agree with baldrick 's valuation,really nice little triple like stuartp says grab it cos they are getting scarce.

Baldrick Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I am seriously considering canning my .22-250 and going back to the much less dramatic .222. Charlie doesn't know the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 If you don't mind me asking, how much does a m595 compaire to a m590 in quality and aslo in price new and second hand ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plinker Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 m590 and 595 are basically the same in both performance and quality you cant buy either new any more they were replaced by the t3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plinker Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I am seriously considering canning my .22-250 and going back to the much less dramatic .222. Charlie doesn't know the difference. quiet and easy to load for as well. no good for willy waving though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 The main reason is losing sight picture (or not, in the case of the .222). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
