New bolt .308 on the way!!!

[Spot Me 2]

I just ordered a Tikka T3 Scout CTR in .308. From all the reviews I read, this is the gun for me. I still need to order glass for it, but stay tuned for a range report.......

You picked an EXCELLENT rifle, now make sure you spend at least as much on good glass

I think I may try out my SWFA super sniper SWFA SS 20x42 Tactical Riflescope on it first. I have it on my LR-308 and love it. I want to make the right decision on glass. I really don't know what I want to put on it yet. I am open to suggestions......

I don't like a FIXED power scope, I have NIGHTFORCE NXS, LEUPOLD MARK 4, LEUPOLD VX III, BUSHNELL ELITE 6500, BURRIS BLACK DIAMOND

Fixed will do just fine.
I shot 2 seasons of F Class with a SS10x.
1000 yards is not an issue.
You'd have to spend a lot more to get better glass.

I have a NSX 5.5-22x50 now, but loved my SS at the time.

They are a bit better in terms of fit and finish and some say more true than a 700 action. The barrels are definitely nicer factory tubes, but still will not compair to a custom had cut barrel.

The Remington action offers more versatility as there's a huge after market segment, but it is growing.

I like the Tikka rifles a lot.

The lowest I have seen one is for $809 which is what I paid for it shipped. From what I have read in reviews you can expect 1/3 or 1/2 MOA out of it stock. Thats great for an out of the box rifle for under $1000!!!!

Very nice rifle!

Well I have another one on the way. SWFA SS 20x42 Tactical Riflescope I love the scope on my LR-308 and for the money I am convince there is nothing better! I can always move up later if need be!

 

[Spot Me 2]

Anyone have recommendations on an after-market stock for this????

 

[Yeah]

I have and would again go McMillan A5.

Never with a Tikka but I doubt that would matter.

I just got notice that this thing finally shipped today and should be here Monday!!!

 

[Spot Me 2]

It finally came. I got the cope mounted but I think it is sitting too high. I have a set of low rings coming for it. Look for a range report early next week!!

Nice .308,, my next acquisition will be a .308

We need a range report.

We need pictures.

We need groups.

This thread just feels incomplete.

Nice rig BTW!
