Sorry. I know. Another damn ring height thread. Not much info on the Tikka's around. 20" Tikka Tac with the factory picatinny rail on the reciever. Probably a Vortex Pst going on. 30mm tube and 50mm obj. What height rings?

I currently have a Tikka Tac 20" .223 bolt that needs some glass. I'm shooting paper from 100-600 yards. My prospectives are: Vortex PST 4-16x50 ~ $600 used $700 new SWFA 3-15x42 ~ $700 new SWFA 10x42 ~$300 new Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44 (Midway Scope) $550 new I prefer MOA and uncapped...

Let me start by noting the fact that I am a strong proponent of the second amendment and firearms ownership. I feel that government in many capacities has overreached it's intended purpose. Legislation has become so out of reach for John Doe that it seemingly no longer servers the people...

The good news is that my Nightforce performed flawlessly in the wind and snow. Temps were below freezing, it was snowing, wind was blowing 10-20 and I even managed to throw a bunch of snow right on the objective lens when I neglected to realize my bikini had accumulated a bunch of snow while...

Rifle: Tikka Tac .233 Ammo: PMC Bronze .223 Dies: RCBS Full length .223 set When I measure a fired case from this rifle, they are measuring in the 1.4480" area, which seemed short to me. I started to set up the dies for this rifle, and ran out of adjustment before the die touches the...

It's time to pick up a new EDC knife. I've been carrying a Kershaw Blur with a Tanto blade for the past couple years. It has served me well, but is starting to show a fair amount of wear. That knife has now been moved to my work gear kit. Now it's time to grab a new every day knife. Since I...

Criteria: Under $1000. Maximum awesomeness. .223 Bolt. This will be a bench gun with something like a fixed 10x on it. I got to handle a Tikka lite and the action has me hooked. I like the Varmint model with the 8 twist barrel. I reload, and plan on tailoring a load. The drawback is the...

Let me preface this by saying there is absolutely no "need" for me to buy another gun. This is purely a want. I have been mainly a pistol shooter and have recently forayed into the ever increasingly expensive world of long guns. I reload, and shoot reloads almost exclusively. I have...

Could someone point me to a mid range bolt gun comparison? I've been looking at the Savage 10, Rem 700, and Tikka T3. The Rem 700 alone has about 20 models. I'm looking to shoot under 600 yards. That's the longest I have within reasonable driving distance. Most of the time will probably only...

I can't decide. I need some help. I'm thinking at least 10x and in the $1000-$1500 range. I would prefer second focal plane. I'm not sure if I want illumination. I don't think I'll really use it. This will be strictly a mid to longish range target rifle. I'm not terribly concerned with...
