I simply want to spend money I don't have on a long range weapon and scope I hope I'll never have to use and probably never will.

Or just just use it to hunt deer..

I’m very impressed with the Tikka T3x. I don’t understand how they are getting this much performance out the door for as little as they cost. I was shooting sub minute out to almost a 140 yards today. Good barrels, nice triggers, decent mags. I need an adjustable cheek piece to shoot my best with them but there are lots of ways to solve that problem.

I’m a fan of the 308’s versatility but the 6.5 Creedmoor is growing on me.

Tell me more. I was looking at 308's.

Like what? Happy to give an information dump.

No, don't do that. Unless it would be beneficial to lots of people.

I love sharing information I’ve found. I have to own up front that part of my preference for the 308 is not rational. I just like it. It’s been around for a good while with wide adoption so you can get good loaded ammo and good components. There are also lots of ammo options. I like the weight and size of the 30 cal bullets. It is not punishing to shoot and pretty economical compared to bigger cartridges, though that only matters if you shoot it. 308 doesn’t burn out barrels like 6.5 Creed or really most other cartridges. And it will handle any game in North America. There are some thoughts for you. πŸ˜‰
