    In my opinion, Tikkas are some of the best rifles on the market today. Even better when you figure in their "relatively" low cost.

    As far as the scope... Eh, it's a Tasco. It will probably serve you just fine.

    HOWEVER, if you really want to shoot at the extremes of the cartridge (400-500yds), then you will need better glass. Something that I've heard numerous times on a few different gun boards is "spend at least as much on the glass as you do the gun".

    -J-


    ETA: No slamming on Tasco; I own 2-3 of them myself for my .22 rifles.

    i have leopolds, burris,redfield,well i have over 60 scopes ,this beats them all at least for me.its the only 30 mm i own i had it on a 270 interarms barrelled action w/fajen stock i took off the leopold vx11 and tried the titan the gun grouped better, and clearer at night but it is big so i put it on the tikka and that interarms 270 will be mine forever, i am not sure about the tikka yet but dont knock a tasco till you know where it came from.i would like to know othjer peoples thoughts on the titan not tascos in general ,in general i agree w/ most of you. thank you

    I just bought a Tikka T3 SS Laminate stock in .308. Put a silver Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40 on it. Can't wait to shoot it for the first time next week.
