Matching scope to rifle

[TagPrincess]

I have a tikka 6.5 CM with 20” barrel and a tikka 300 WM with 20” barrel. Both will have a suppressor. I have a Trijicon credo 2.5-15 x42 and a SWFA 3-9x42. I can’t decide which scope to put on which gun.

On the one hand, bigger gun = bigger optic… put the credo on the 300. On the other hand, the 6.5 will be used for mulies and 300 for elk. Perhaps the higher mag is better for smaller game… put the credo on the 6.5.

Any insight is appreciated.

If you're using a rail and high-end rings you could swap them out and switch depending on what you're doing, but I would sell the credo and pick up a 3-15 or 3-9 SWFA and they would be virtually set up the same.
