My .243 is a t3x lite stainless and I don’t think I’d buy anything else now, 

My .243 is a tikka T3 Lite bought it when they were first made and recommended to quite a few lads buying new rifles , everyone really pleased with their purchases. If I was buying a new rifle now I would get the Tikka t3x lite

My tikka t3 was a lite in ze Swede.

Bullet on bullet on bullet. The centered scope was only adjusted a few clicks off centre too.

You have probably made a good choice for your wraith . I like the .223 Tikka I’ve got . I would think about starting to load your own rounds for it . Because the stuff you buy can’t come close , you will be surprised how well it will you start shooting . I still have a hankering for a wildcat though , either a 204 ruger or a Tac 20 , have you thought about that ?

I looked at the .204 but getting what I want in lefty seems to be the problem, I know I can have the .223 within a week and I think it will be more than enough rifle for the scope

You are right

Befor I started reloading used 55g v max , and I bought some 55g soft Point PPU to try out 

and Ive still got a few boxes left , in fact I took a box out the other day and the groups with them were 1” at 100 yards , with out changing the scope but at £13.50 a box there half the price of Hornady and the be honest good enough for fox , just saying there worth a go

After using the wraith on the .243 I decided I didn’t want it on that rifle, I was going to go 22-250 but the distance the wraith works best would say it’s to much rifle for the scope, so I will eat my words, I put down for a .223, I’ve never had one and always said I wouldn’t have one so we’ll see how I get on with it once I’ve built up the courage to part with my cash

hats off to firearms, 48 hour turn around on a variation

I can't begin to tell you how disappointed i am.

I had such high hopes for you.

I thought you where going for another 243 using 55/58grn bullets or the 22.250.

But alas you have chosen the calibre of the chavs!

I won't sleep tonight knowing you have made a poor lifestyle choice.

I feel suitably shamed but in my defence, oh wait, I have no defence

Remember now Ian, Stavross is in the North East; only one village at a time taking turns with the electric!
