Hey fellas,
Wanted to get some input on the new rig I got the green light for from my wife. It will be my Christmas present this year.
I've decided on the Tikka T3 in 270 WSM. It will be my deer rifle, could use it on elk depending on what bullets it shoots best, but I have a 300 win for elk.
Anyway, here's what I need help with. I'm going synthetic. Do I go stainless or blued? Price difference is $60.
Bigger question: What to put on Top of it? I want something in the 3 or 4-12 power range, up to 4.5-14. Prefer it without the AO. Here are the scopes I'm considering.
Burris Signature select 3-12 X 44mm with ballistic plex. 420.00 ish
Leupold VX3 4.5-14 X 40mm with B&C reticle 550.00 ish
Sightron S2 3-12 X 42mm with plex reticle 300.00 ish
Like the Nikon monarch and BDC reticle but can't find it without the AO.
What would you guys go with? I can tell you that the best buy is a consideration. Speaking only about optics, what makes the Leupold 100-200 dollars better than the others? All have forever warranty. Sightron's is arguably the best warranty, just a lesser known brand.
Thanks for your opinions, wallhanger.
