hairybull 3 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Nice mate- Ive got the Tikka t3 in .223 , havent used it yet, used to use Ruger .223 and that was a good gun too. The new one will be used on roo and wild dog/dingo. Do you find the 50mm are a better scope than the 40mm? Or do you shoot at night? Quote Link to post
