    Ah Cabelas lol. I'm glad I live far from one. Last time I went in there I bought ammo in a caliber I didn't even own a gun in. Obviously had to buy a gun for all that ammo. :cool:

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I ended up ordering the EGW base. It certainty doesn't look like 2 pieces to me. https://www.opticsplanet.com/egw-tikka-t3-picatinny-rail-scope-mount.html I just got the precision vortex rings for it as well. Spuhr mounts are the best but I just don't have the $ for that.

    This is why I'm confused. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-precision-matched-rings-34mm-riflescope-92 The gen 2 is a 34mm tube. So are you talking about the .92 or 1inch?

    So looking for someone with a Vortex Razor Gen 2 4.5-27 mounted on a CTR 20inch. I'm getting a 6.5 and just wanted to see what people were using exactly for a mount and rings.

    Sure it cancels the light rifle out lol. No sadly light and accurate is something that can't be done within my price range. So I'll settle for something good well within my budget instead.

    I've definitely settled on just getting a Tikka CTR 20in 6.5. I posted a question in the optics forum however maybe i can get a reply here. What base and mount should i use for a vortex razor gen 2 4.5-27? Specifically. Want to make sure I get the clearance and height right. I'm sure more then...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for someone with this setup..

    Looking for someone who has a Tikka T3X CTR 20inch. I'm curious as to what mount and ring setup you used to mount a Razor Gen2 4.5-27. I'm sure more then one person probably has this setup. Just curious.

    To say that you can't have a very lightweight rifle that stays accurate is silly. Barrett just didn't focus on both when building the Fieldcraft obviously. And yes it's pretty impossible to find anything production under $2500 that fits both those criteria. Off the top of my head there is the...

    Ya I've decided on a CTR. Experience is definitely something I do not lack. I should have stated that this is my first rifle as a civilian. I have shot many rounds through many different platforms from a 22 all the way to a 50. I've shot at paper and at targets of the human kind. You can't have...

    I was looking into the Barrett more. Does anyone have one? From what I read the barrel heats up way too fast and the accuracy isn't that great because of it. Over 1moa.

    And Timney is coming out with a trigger for the Tikkas. So that'll be a plus. Hope there is a flat blade option. I love my SSAE on my AR. Too bad geissele started with the 700 this year.

    Hey I'm in Chandler as well. And I was actually looking into them. I was thinking about starting with a CTR 20inch and seeing where I can go from there with time. Tikka makes incredible actions from what I've gathered on here. This is my first bolt action gun so I want to get it right with this...
