Another Finn in the family

Post by Rongo »

It's a 1931 Tikka M27 in very fine condition with perfect mirror bore, crisp & light Finn trigger (Nicest one I've ever felt) nice deep blue & excellent stock. Haven't taken it apart yet but that will have to wait a bit. previous owner stated he could get Quarter sized groupings at 100yds with Surplus ammo... I can't wait to test that out at the range.

I have an M39, some Finn capture 91/30s' & Dragoon, a Tikka 91/30 & Finn M91 already... I have been impressed with the quality of these pieces but none of them are near as nice as this M27. I now see why so many of you praise these so much. 8)

A few photos of this fine Finn...

It is nice... But someone refinished it at one point. I'm not going to argue for the price though.

If they refinished it, they must have been gentle with it. Doesn't look like they got carried away and the expected dings are not ruined. I think it looks awesome.

One of the reasons I got it. It wasn't a bad refinish & the price was right coming in under $300.

Are you sure it is not a Finn refurb?

Have you found shims in the stock on all of your Finns? just wondering if they shimmed them the way they did on the M39's?

Do you have a idea what type of finish is on the furniture?
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....

It looks like a low gloss poly... Not a bad job, but not that typical Finnish oil stock.

I'll pull it out & look it over again.
