Thread: T3 tune up

What type of hunting are you mainly doing EG Bush, Open tops etc?

If i were you i would focus on getting decent optics first, if you bush hunt dont get a 4.5-14 its too much magnification for the close quarters hunting. You would be better off with the likes of a 3-9x40 as this will cover you from 5-400 odd meters pretty well. Like Brads said a vx3 CDS would be a good option, i think the vx3 3.5-10x40 is pretty much perfect as an all round scope for NZ and gives you the ability to dial if you get into some longer range shooting. (There are better but not much for the equivalent price and often are quite heavy too)

I think the vx3 CDS retail for about $900, then if you fitted a limbsaver $70 and a suppressor $400-500 you would still come in under $1500 and would have almost the ultimate all round rifle for NZ hunting. If you want to save weight then dont get a suppressor and look at fluting instead.
