Listened to the last podcast. I think Jake's mindset on magnification (more is more better) is how most hunters naturally felt about it before being exposed to input/experience from others. It does feel better to have a bigger image of the target you're trying to hit in the scope. Agree with Ryan's angle on it though. I cant imagine shooting an animal (other than a prairie dog or some other tiny varmint) on 32x.
Gotcha. Yeah I can’t use 32x on my NX8, even with a 22-250s light recoil.

Anyone else get a chuckle when Robby asked "so $750 for the tikka or $2000 for the vesper, what do I get for $1250 more?"
Hahaha I know it! Tikkas are freaking legit. But I can’t help myself with the vespers. Tikka wouldn’t do the 300 NMI, so I got the vesper LA and that thing was so sweet. So then I just bought the short action too 🥲. And an action wrench so I can swap barrels at home if I get bored lol. Just waiting on my Rokstok! The Peak 44 I ordered weeks ago will probably be here first though. But then I’ll put it in the Rokstok when it shows up.

High roller 😎

I’m more of a 2 3/4 #3 guy. Not very recoil tolerant 😬
Haha I’ve shot only 3.5” shells since I was 15. This will be my first time ever shooting 3” for waterfowl. But my buddy was crushing birds with it, so I’m ready to take less recoil and hit birds harder. Even if it hits my wallet harder too 🤣🤣

How do they compare to a steel lone peak? I do like running that more than a tikka..

I think they’re slightly better. They’re lighter and are also beefier. In the recoil lug and tenon. Which was more important for the big Norma, but not so much for the smaller magnums. And the new SA Vesper has a 75 degree bolt throw which I’m sure I’m going to like a lot also.

Lone peak makes a great action though. I wouldn’t be upset at all if I had to use them.

We briefly pursued this with LRI and determined the market was too small to recoup engineering and tooling cost, sadly. When I have more personal money I'll underwrite a rem 700 footprint short/mini Tikka action.
