I’m a long time lurker here but just made the plunge to create an account. I went down a longggg rabbit hole with many optics and many rifles before ending up with what I have now. Started with weatherby vanguard with a Nikon scope then went on to a Ruger Hawkeye with a leupold scope. After jumping on here I saw tikka was the go to so I sold the Ruger and grabbed a Tikka T3x Superlite in 30-06 (versatility and ease of ammo was my reasoning), some talley rings, and a leupold 2.5-8x36. After researching on here I see leupold is not encouraged so now I’m probably going to sell my leupold and look for something else. I ordered some UM Tikka rings 30mm lows but now can’t decide on an optic. SWFA is unobtainable atm and according to their customer service they have no clue when they will be. After reading forms scope reviews I’m down to these
CREDO HX 2.5-15x42
ACCUPOINT 2.5-12.5x42
NF SHV 3-10x42
MAVEN RS1.2
I’m usually a Kentucky windage type of guy so I don’t dial. Most my shots are within 100 yards so low end is most important to me. I do hope to chase Coues Deer, Mule deer, pronghorn (GF family is from AZ)and Elk at some point in the future though. Right now I’m just chasing Kentucky Whitetail.
I think my rifle has me covered for all lower 48 hunting. I just want bomb proof reliability in an optic because first and foremost it’s an aiming device. Thanks to you all I now know this. What’s the point of amazing glass if it can’t hold zero. Thanks for your time!
