New Member - New Tikka Owner

Hey all, New member here and glad to be here. I've learned a lot from you all and hope I can contribute as well.

I just got a Tikka T3x compact in 7mm-08

I did modify it a bit, here's what I did

Got the aftermarket vertical grip

Added A Backstop recoil pad (came highly recommended by a friend)

Replaced the plastic floorplate with the an aluminum one from High Desert Rifle Works

Going to keep the factory stock.

I'm going to top it with a Leupold VX III 1.75 X 6 X 32mm using lightweight Talley base and rings

Again, glad to be here!

Welcome, Greg. 7mm-08 tikka with the vertical grip is a great setup.

If you haven't bought a scope yet, hop on over to the scope eval sub forum

Hello, I do have have several scopes. The one I'm going to use is the Leupold I mentioned above.

Thanks!

Id follow researchinstuffs advice. Just peruse the evals, before committing to slapping that leupy on there.

Good choice. All of my Tikkas are laser beams!

Welcome to the slide. Enjoy that Tikka it might be your first one but it won't be your last. I also agree with the comment from ResearchinStuff to check out the scope evaluations. It's an eye opener for sure.
