Setting up a Tikka T3x .308

[Q_Sertorius]

I already said it, but I agree that the 3-9x40 AccuPoint is right on the money for your little rifle. I wish it and the 2.5-10x came in mil/mil.

For dialing, I preferred the regular Credo to the HX when I compared them at a gun shop and online.

Am I missing something? The link above for 3-9 are all capped turrets from what I can see.

Yes, sorry about that. I was linking from my phone. They are capped turrets, but easy enough to adjust if you remove the caps. I totally understand not being comfortable with that setup.

The Credo 2-10x36, 2.5-15x42, or 2.5-15x56 are more your jam. A good price on those new is at least $800 to $1000 though…

This was one I really liked in the store:

This was the other scope I really heavily considered, before deciding that I didn't need that much magnification:

Ultimately I decided that - at my price point - if I wanted illumination, I would settle for not dialing. I'm very happy with my SWFA non-illuminated scopes.

Thanks for the reply, Just got done ordering the 4-16x50 from PSA, that was an ordeal in itself.

Decided on the 4-16x50 for the 20" barrel after reading some post about the eye box on it compared to the 2.5-15x42.

Looks like I can go with the UM Low mounts with the 50mm so mount height should be an issue.

Eventually will get a 3-9x40 accupoint for the 16" barrel

I hope it all works out for you! Look forward to seeing the finished product and some targets!
