Nothing special at the end of the day, just a Tikka in latte 7-08 caliber. Mounted the scope in the weekend and sighted it in and it groups rem core lokts nicely at 100m. So for a bush pig I'm pretty happy with the set up. I know it shoots well so no excuses in the bush now, apart from not seeing any animals.

This photo was prior to the weekend. I've turned the rear ring and got my eye relief perfect. Would of liked a slightly lower ring.

Nice and I can totally relate to the young family bit, dunno if you would get that scope any lower without the zoom ring hitting the action.
Looks good. You've got a keeper there that's for sure
