Good to know. And you answered what would have been my next question. I have narrowed to 5 - 10 units that look like a fit. So I'll wait until April to check the new quotas.
Noob questions re: Wyoming Antelope Draw.
If you submit the your first choice as a Special Draw then do the other 2 choices also go into the Special Draw?
In the event that I am not awarded tags. Do outfitters have their own tags available? Is it conceivable that I could still arrange an...
I decided on a scope:
Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44 30mm Tube Dead-Hold BDC Riflescope
I am considering a rail too. The products from Warne are what I’ve gravitating towards.

Rails for scope mounts. Noob question incoming:
Why are some products labeled as 0 MOA and others 20 MOA? I’m not understanding that.
My best guess is that it relates to the thickness of the rail and how much further up the scope sits vertically?

Update.
I decided on a scope:
Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44 30mm Tube Dead-Hold BDC Riflescope
After reading though the comments on this thread and one of the others mentioned — my preference would be direct mounting.
That said, I wear glasses. Eye relief is something I want to get right...
I picked up a Tikka T3x Lite Stainless .308
I’m still in the process of figuring out a scope.
In the meantime, can anyone point me in the right direction for high-quality scope rings? No idea where to start with those.

Fired up!
Went to a Gun Show today. First table we get to I find a Tikka TX3 Lite Stainless LH .308.
Take my money!
My search is over. Now the hunt for scopes begins.

Yep. That 110 action has been around and trusted for a long time. I have a somewhat-collectible Savage/Anchutz lefty 110. Really nice gun so I don’t want to bang it up chasing antelope. Also, weighs in at over 10 lbs!

I had Savage rifles on my list and eliminated them early after so many mediocre/poor reviews.
The Ultralight got good reviews. But after seeing the price tag, $1600+ MSRP, I didn’t research it any more.
I’m really hoping to land something in the $800 - $1200 range. Because I still have to...

I'm slightly unsure. Does the Special draw refer to the increased cost draw with slightly better odds? Or does it refer specifically to archery tags (vs. rifle?)
Thanks in advance.
The Christensen Arms seem really nice. Learned more about those because of the Cleared Hot podcast. But dang, they are just out of my price range!

I’m in the market for a Tikka as well and this is exactly where I am in the process.
I want to get a do-it-all caliber that will reach out for big game. But I do not want to punish my shoulder or develop a flinch.
For now, I should focus on a caliber that will work for deer. I figure I’m...
The only thing that has me a little hesitant in trying to get something like a 300 WSM in a Tikka Superlite is the recoil. Light rifle and mule of a kick does not seem like the smartest approach.

I’m in the same boat! Right handed. Left master eye. At this point in my research — I must say I’m obsessed with the idea of getting a lefty Tikka T3x.
Of course, now I’m obsessing over a do-it-all caliber! 243? 270? 308? 7mm-08? 6.5 Creed?
