    Scope for new 22?

    .22 dry fire

    What frickin' calibers can I get a Tikka T3?

    Re: What frickin' calibers can I get a Tikka T3? Beretta only imports the .223, 22-250, and .308. Which is a shame because of all the nice calibers offered for the T3. I'd do backflips if I could get my hands on a T3 Stainless Varmint in 6.5x55 Swede.

    Rifle Scopes March Scopes

    Re: March Scopes Wow...6x or 10x erectors? Hasn't Bushnell had a tough time making the 6x erector for the Elite6500 series? What effects does having such a wide magnification range cause?
