Looks good. Its your gun. You decide if it is over scoped or not. You know what you need it for. I think you did just right for the gun. Even better if you got a deal on it. I would never put a fixed 4x on nothing.
I was in the same boat as you not knowing if 6 was to much for the thick stuff. I was looking at the same scope as you. I ended up going with the 4x16. I would have hated it if 6x was the reason I missed a big buck.
Check out some of the new vortex scopes. Very good scope for the money. I have been a sworo fan forever but I am in the same boat as you with kids and I was looking for something with a better price. Good warranty and clear optics. I have the viper hs 4x16x44.
I was getting ready to mount my new Talley bases on my Tikka T3 and there were 2 different length of srews. I called them and they told me to put the short screw under the ring. Why does this matter? Has anyone mounted talley bases and had the same problem?
Sorry you are right I should have been more specific. One of the best. I also have had personal experiences with well known product and its never been fast or easy. I have found out that just cause its on the warranty card doesn't mean they will do it fast and easy.
My good friend is in...
I was looking for the samething as you are. I ended up going with vortex viper hs 4x16 model. It is a lower turret and caped. I like the lower caped turret for hunting. Not as big to get in the way. Very good optics and the turret moves perfect. You can us the moa or get a custom turret...
I have almost the same gun but a 270 wsm. I just got the Viper HS 4 x 16 x 44. I am hoping to get the distance you are wanting and be comfortable shooting this range. I cant decide to turret it or just use the moa. Or trade for the LR version. I will have to watch your post to see comments...
I have been checking them out online. I am way excited to get one for my T3. I have shoot many guns with BC stocks and think they are great for the money.
Thank you both for your info. I am really thinking about not doing a turret and just using the 1/4 moa per click and having the chart with me. I have a buddy who has a in with Vortex, I am going to talk to him for sure. I am not really wanting a long range gun, just when the 800 yard shoot is...
I just got the viper hs as a gift. I was thinking of getting the LR version but got the reg version as a gift. I am thinking it might be better for me anyway. I was just wondering has anyone had the custom turret made for them and how far was your longest range you could turn to. I really...
