Thread: Tikka T3x Tac A1

I am big fan of .308 and at risk of starting a caliber debate it might be worth considering 6.5 Creedmoor.

I have shot .308 out to 1000 yds and while it can be done if you are shooting distance the 6.5 is easier.
One of the things I like about .308 is ammo price but when you get into match ammo the two are pretty much the same.
You can compare the same ammo in different calibers at GC and see what I mean.

I apologize if I'm teaching you to suck eggs but if I were to start again it would be with 6.5.

As for optics I'll take MRAD over MOA every time, the math is so much easier.
After that pick your features and set a budget. I think the current rule of thumb is 2x per 100m.
Just be careful getting too much magnification. If you dial up to much its hard to find the target and you will lose it and have to re-acquire when the recoil kicks in.
You can add a mini red dot to help with that though.
