If 3x zoom ratio works for the intended purpose, it's an easy call to make (at similar price points). Most people want a better zoom ratio, however, even at the expense of image quality, FOV, etc.
That shouldn't be necessary to prevent slippage and gives your objective bell the minimum support. I personally do the opposite - put the front ring as close to the bell as your rail and eye relief permits.
B-10 glass is good, but I’m unsure how it compares to the competition. In side by side viewing, my Minox ZP5 5-25 is a big step above in every way optically which is expected. I haven’t yet compared to my other mid mag scopes.

It does tunnel, but the tunneling ends before the 2.5x mark. I'd call it ~2.2x. Certainly way before 4x. I just picked one up last week so I have B10 on the brain. I agree that the turrets are very nice. Erek2 is the best elevation turret of any I own. I don't own a TT, so...
What AICS mags has the Tikka Bravo been tested with? AI, Accurate, Magpul, ARC, etc? Is there a reason to think any of them work better than others specifically in the Tikka version? Thanks.
It's not just about BC. Velocity plays a part too. 7mm is faster than the .30 heavies, and that compensates for the small differences in BC. Keep in mind, the differences are so small that it's an academic discussion. Anyone actually firing these rounds (7mm vs heavy .30) will never see the...
The JP silent capture spring comes with a rifle tube spacer. I assume you got your SCS second hand?
The Luth-AR works fine. Not as refined as the PRS but a lot lighter. Adjustments are clunky. You loosen a thumb screw, ratchet the buttpad/cheek riser past a toothed locking plate, then...
