Our Assessment: The Tikka M595 Whitetail Hunter Deluxe stands as a prime example of Finnish engineering and precision craftsmanship. Produced during a golden era of Tikka’s bolt-action rifles, the M595 features a superbly machined action, crisp trigger, and cold-hammer forged barrel—attributes that have made it a cult favorite among accuracy-minded hunters and sport shooters. Chambered here in .223 Remington, it offers a flat-shooting, low-recoil cartridge ideal for varmints, small game, or benchrest precision.
This example is particularly attractive due to its Deluxe configuration, which showcases a high-gloss walnut Monte Carlo stock with rosewood forend and grip caps, detailed checkering, and a brown rubber recoil pad. It wears its factory blued finish beautifully, retaining 99% of the original polish, and the bore is pristine. The rifle is topped with a Leupold Vari-X III 6.5–20x EFR scope with a fine crosshair reticle—an optic choice well-suited for the rifle’s precision capabilities, especially with the adjustable objective and exposed turrets. The glass is clear, and the condition throughout is Excellent, suggesting this rifle has seen very little, if any, field use.
This rifle comes complete with its serial number-matched box, manual, and sling rings—a rarity for a firearm of this vintage. Whether you’re a collector of fine European rifles, a prairie dog hunter seeking exceptional performance, or a shooter who values old-world quality in a modern chambering, this Tikka M595 Whitetail Hunter Deluxe is a standout opportunity.
