Thread: Can you help me choose my next build

Scope wise definitely FFP for me. I have not had any experience with a Mil recticle so I’m not worried ifs it mil or moa. Should I be?

It will be mostly range, and thanks to Grandpamac, I’ve got a possible place to go. I’ll use my T3 for now and shout myself something new for Christmas with a nice new scope on it.

The Super Varmint and CTR are basically the same other than the obvious cosmetic differences.
The real changes are the CTR using CTR/TRG magazines, the CTR having a lighter profile barrel and the Roughtech Super Varmint appears to come with a 2 stage trigger.

If you need 10 shot mags then the CTR is the way to go, unless you plan to change the stock in which case you'll probably be using AICS magazines.
The CTR barrel profile is more than heavy enough and less weight will be better for hunting purposes.
2 stage trigger comes down to personal preference.

As far as Mils vs MOA, definitely Mils.
They both do the same job in theory, but Mils end up dealing with lower numbers that are easier to interpret (seems stupid but it's true) and the reticles seem to be simpler in a Mil scope.
There are also more options for Mil scopes, so if you aren't used to either system may as well start with Mil.
