Food for thought

No matter how one approaches the figures, one is forced to the rather startling conclusion that the use of firearms in crime was very much less when there were no controls of any sort and when anyone, convicted criminal or lunatic, could buy any type of firearm without restriction. Half a century of strict controls on pistols has ended, perversely, with a far greater use of this weapon in crime than ever before. - Colin Greenwood, in the study "Firearms Control", 1972

Tikka (and Sako) are now owned by Beretta. The 22-250 is based on the 250-3000 Savage case necked down to .22 caliber and is so named because of the caliber (22) and the parent case (250). During the summer of 1931, it was rumoured that Remington was about to acquire Winchester. Later that year Winchester was in fact sold to the Western Cartridge Company.
