Thank you. It's a Tikka T3x action. The stock is a Pure Precision Mesa Altitude.

I ordered one last week. They said 2-3 months for a painted finish. 6 months for the molded-in finish.

Turrets are good, but not as crisp as the NXS. Low light is very good. Slightly better than the NXS.

I do. The NXS is a great scope with proven reliability. But there are a few things that I prefer on the Credo HX. Specifically... the eye relief, zoom range, parallax adjustment, tube mounting length, and capped windage. The glass is also a little better on the Credo HX... to my eye...

Selling a set of Redding Premium Series Dies for the 22-250 Remington. This is the Deluxe Die Set that includes a Full Length, Neck Sizing and Micrometer Adjustable Seating Die (Model # 68106). Very lightly used (developed 2 loads for my 22-250). I sold the rifle and no longer need this set. The...

I just purchased a Trijicon Credo HX 2.5-15x42 and my first impressions are really positive. It replaced a NF NXS on my 300 WSM. The reviews I have read are all positive. I believe they have a model that matches the Zoom and objective you mentioned above (and a bunch of other options in the...

He turns 13 in a few weeks. But, might be a little small for him. I will double check and get back to you if the sizes look like they would work.

Congrats! Heck of a shot! I hope to get my son his 1st Muley Buck this year. Your post is encouraging. Thanks for sharing.

I started with a Magneto several years ago. Upgraded to a Labradar last year. Recently purchased the Garmin and it is really nice. After using all three, the Garmin is hard to beat.

At that price range the Zeiss Conquest HD and Kowa Genesis are both really good. I have Swaro SLCs and both those are very close. I love my 10x42 SLCs, but I am seriously considering the Kowa Genesis in 8x33 as a lighter, more compact option for Archery Elk season.

The 6.5 Grendel is a pleasure to shoot. I have been very happy with mine. Whitetail Deer and hogs (up to 225 lbs) with the 123 SST have all been quick kills. It's 7 lbs all up and recoil is very light.... especially suppressed. 16" barrel is getting around 2400 fps.

Well... I found out that McMillan doesn't offer the TG version for my action (Tikka T3x). Currently, the Game Warden LR with the finger stop is the only option. They also said there are no plans to offer the TG version for Tikka. Hopefully the finger stop isn't an issue. I like everything else...

Any additional feedback on this stock? I'm considering it as an alternative to the Mesa Precision Altitude currently on my 300 WSM. Seems like the McMillan design would help with muzzle rise. What is your first impression of the finger stop? Feels natural...or takes some getting used to? Is...

Here is some info from Barnes that might be helpful. Although their response was in regard to loads for a 300 WSM, the 165 TSX is discussed with their minimum velocity required for expansion. As others have mentioned, the 165 TSX needs more speed to expand. Based on your hunting situation...
