    6.5CM ~400yd Optic, Dial With Capped Turrets?

    Thanks guys. Right now its between a Credo and pulling the cap to dial if/when needed or a Sightron. Has anyone else used a Sightron? reticle thick enough for hunting? Can't seem to find much on them.

    Tikka 50-100 FPS difference - Bullet Drop Impact

    In reviewing ballistic charts it seems that even a ~50-100fps difference in (factory) velocity from the printed specs would have a serious change in bullet drop even at 300 yards.. I have a Tikka in 6.5CM, is the only "correct" way to get the true FPS is get a chrono and see what it puts out? I...

    6.5CM ~400yd Optic, Dial With Capped Turrets?

    Looking for a suitable scope to put on a 6.5CM for predominantly Northeast whitetail. Here's the kicker - I likely will be hunting within ~200yds but would like to be able to target shoot or reach out to 300-350 if I want to. It looks like with a 100yd zero I will be ~13'' low at 300yds...

    6.5CM 129gr vs 143gr for Deer

    Self-proclaimed amateur with a Tikka 6.5CM "Rokslide Special" on the way. I've been doing a lot of research on (factory) rounds for whitetail and am unsure if I should be sticking with 129-130 gr rounds or 140-143's. Is the weight spread big enough to impact point of impact out to 300 yards/can...

    First and Last Rifle - New Hunter

    Thank you everyone for your help. I greatly appreciate it. It's decided- a T3X lite 6.5CM and waiting for the SWFA to come back in stock. I would ask about blued vs stainless but i'm using the search function to my advantage... Any rings other than Sportsmatch? Kind of tired of everything being...

    First and Last Rifle - New Hunter

    Thank you guys for all of the insight. Sounding like a Tikka in 6.5CM or .308 is the way to go. Would .308 in a t3x lite be manageable? Thoughts on the wood stocked or ultra light T3X's? Any scopes I should be looking at under $500 other than SWFA? I appreciate it!

    First and Last Rifle - New Hunter

    New to hunting as well as Rokslide and hoping you guys can help me. I am a new hunter but have a good bit of experience skeet/trap shooting as well as competitive .22 shooting. I'm just getting into hunting and would like to make one rifle/scope purchase that will last a good 20+ years as I grow...
