About the Tikka M695
The Tikka M695 is a Finnish long-action, bolt-action hunting rifle produced by Tikka (a Sako brand). It uses a forged and milled steel action with a free-floating barrel and a detachable clip magazine holding three cartridges, and was chambered for standard long-action and magnum cartridges such as .30-06 Springfield, .270 Winchester, 6.5x55 Swedish and .300 Winchester Magnum. Together with the shorter M595, it formed Tikka's 500/600 series before being replaced by the Tikka T3 in the early 2000s.
When the M595/M695 series was retired, Sako folded its accurate free-floated action and detachable magazine ideas into the Tikka T3, which went on to become one of the best-selling hunting rifles in the world.
