I brought a early sako from a shop probably 15-20 years ago and they had milled a bit out of the barrel

funny the scope with a bite out of it thing didnt really catch on......bloody good concept and you just dont see them anymore..well I dont..maybe Im going blind???

What power settings do you start to see the suppressor?
Just out of curiosity.

@bigbear maybe the 50mm will fit your tikka my long action is obviously longer than tikka

Pays to check the clearance regularly especially if bush hunting as fern or similar can get wedged in the small gap under the objective lens.

below 3x with any of mine..and I m one of those weird types that actually LIKE seeing suppressor in scope,it sort of works like shotgun barrel for quick alignment

Other thing to consider is your prefered scope covers -butler creek style will fit but you may struggle with a neoprene style. Or shell out a few pingas for the Leupold magnetic ones.

1mm clearance sounds perfect to me.

I don't wanna hear "angle grinder" and "barrel" in the same sentence

I always use a neoprene cover on the scopes. I tried a Leupold one on this and unfortunately it doesn't fit.. Vortex has a new style neoprene cover that fits good and has loops, goes on tight and wraps around the scope.

mate had one -redfield I think it was - no end of fogging and he eventually sold it- maybe odd shape hard to seal properly - concept was good though

Rubber band style scope covers don't care how low it is

Was Leupold that brought them out. Had one when first released, was a good scope. Had no problems with it but was just too bulky for my style of shooting. Only Leupold that’s escaped from me.

This is why i went to a 44mm i always run the leupold neoprene covers also i thought it was going to be a tight fit and didn't want to buy then have to change rings

Yea know what you mean, tried the Leupold ones and they don't cover the windage and parallax turrets properly. I not fussed weather its 44 or 50, the 50 gives me more chance to see the target for a follow up. It's the reticle that sold it to me, this so far the best one yet for me.

Bigger objective lense doesn't neccessarily give bigger field of view, usually less. Have a look at scope and binocular specs to see what I mean.Generally to get bigger field of view in a bigger lense something else suffers unless you go for high end scopes then you tend to treat the unit like a pussy with flash scope covers etc.
