    Well, mag prices be damned. I am the proud new owner of the CTR in .308.


    Now it's optics shopping time. Any recommendations on optics? I am able to get a decent discount on leupold so as much as I like Nightforce I would prefer to stick with Leupold.

    May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one

    Congrats, it really is a great rifle.

    Sticking with a lighter leupold will also get you under the 10.5 lb weight maximum for shooting NRA silhouette. My CTR just barely makes weight with a SWFA 5-20x in the factory plastic stock, but that scope is pretty heavy as it is a tactical with variable and side parallax.

    Thanks. Really look forward to shooting it.


    Any recommendations for an optic? Looking at staying with Leupold and around $1,000 or less.

    Great choice going with the Tikka!

    For that sum or less for optics, might take a look at Meopta also.

    Recently purchased a Tikka CTR and so far I'm very pleased .... it's a solid rifle for $900.

    For optics I have been looking at the PA 1-8 ACSS scope.
    There are two models of that scope .... but this one:

    I'm curious about the ACSS reticle.

    Another similar scope is this:

    My Tikka (260 remington) is going to be used as a 'scout' type rifle for hunting whitetails and antelopes and maybe elk if I can build a load that will push a 140 grain near 2900 fps out the tube.
    Factory ammo is hard to find, but with good brass it will be interesting to reload this cartridge.

    If you register your new purchase with Tikka, they will give you a coupon for 15% on accessories.
    I ordered two ten round mags for $170....(spendy I know).

    Good shooting, I believe you made a good choice.
