    Best glass for Tikka T3 Tactical .308??

    Need some help, choosing the right glass for my Tikka T3 Tactical 308.

    Wanted to keep the price range under $800 or maybe a little bit more (if needed). Open to some suggestions guys...

    Looking for 6 - 20 range or so.

    Would love Leupold Mark 4 6.5-20x50mm LRT M1, but kind of out of my price range.

    Check out the Nikons. They have a 5-20 Monarch that is REALLY nice.

      IOR. Check 'em out. 2.5-10x42, 4-14x50. Check with Scott at Liberty Optics. He has the best prices around.

            Is your Tikka a 20" or 24". And how do you like it so far?

              Get a Nikon Tactical and don't look back
              I'm only smiling at you while you talk to me because it's hilarious that you really think I give a crap about you.

              As I've gotten older I thought I was gaining patience, then I realized I simply don't give a crap.

                Careful with some of those. They lack a lot of internal adjustment...

                  Are you referring to making adjustments for 1000 yards?

                    I would second the Nikons as their pricing on some of their product line is great. IOR seems to have been raising prices now that they are popular. Thus, I do not think they are a great deal like they orginally were. In fact, I really do not think they are much of a deal anymore.

                      Nikons 6.5x20's are all that I run on my two Tikka 595's. Great glass and I love the mil dot. Don't really need the lighted reticle though.

                        Given what you get for the price...yes, they still are a deal. They've upgraded the turrets as well. Where else will you get Schott glass in a robust scope for that price?

                          Yes, and being able to get a 100 yard zero when using a 20 MOA base. You want something with a minimum of 60 or so MOA total internal adjustment. Some people get away with 50 or so, but I don't like to chance it. Plus, when you get to the extreme of elevation adjustment, you have very little windage adjustment available when you really need it.
