Help me pick a scope
Quote:
Why so much magnification? Are you hunting or shooting paper? Whichever it is, at what distances? I wasted a lot of money on high magnification scope when I first got into rifles just to realize later they did not fit my needs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What do you intend to use the Tikka for? If it's hunting you want something that's lower magnification than both of those, but is durable and lightweight.
I have the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 for my Bergara HMR in 6.5 creedmoor, but it's for long range target shooting, not hunting. What is your Tikka chambered for, are you looking for an MOA or MRAD reticle, duplex, MDC, Mil Dot? The Vortex is a pretty bright scope, but so are Leupolds. I ultimately settled on the Vortex for the warranty, really. |

You cant go wrong with the vortex. Especially at the price points they are at right now.

I have the Vortex on my 6.5CM Bergara HMR, and I compared it to the Burris XTR II when I bought mine, since they were both the same price.
The Vortex will go the distance for sure, to get something significantly "better" you will be spending a lot more money. There are a lot of quality scopes though, in the $1000-1200 range. Are you someplace where you would be able to peer through the ones you are considering? I.e. near a gun store? Pick which one your eyes see the best picture through. Also what reticle you want to use can help narrow it down. Why only those two scopes? If you're trying to max out your scope, you could go higher and get something like the Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x56mm. |

This doesn't have a zero stop, but glass will be better than the vortex

The PST Gen II in the 5-25x is a no brainer, I have looked far and wide for a better scope at a better price and nothing exists. $699 is a killer deal. Best value to price ratio that I have found.

I would look at athlon scopes, either the ares ETR or the cronus BTR.

At most a 2x7 or 3x9 for the Tikka. |
