Advice on 22-250 Tikka t3 varmint scope

[NascarManiac]

Good morning
First time posting...

I have narrowed down my choice for a varmint scope for my 22-250 Tikka T3 Lite...I have ordered a Bell and Carlson stock from Prophet and should have this week.

Most of my hunting will be in legal early morning hours (dusk). 450 yard shots max... I currently have a Bushnell Legend 5x15x40 AO. Decent scope but lose clarity when magnified.
I have a $1300.00 budget including taxes and shipping if necessary.

I have a EGW HD picatinny rail, and new Leopold PRW rings for both a 30mm or 1" tube.

Vortex Viper HS- 4x16x50 BDC
Vortex Razor HD LH 3x15x42 G4BDC
Burris Veracity 3x15x50mm BPE1FFP
Open to other ideas...


Thanks

Don't overlook the Bushnell LRHS scopes, they are very good.

I just went thru the same dilemma on what scope to put on my Tikka .223. I ended up with a SWFA SS 10x42 with mil-quad reticle. Very nice scope for the price! I may swap out my wife's VX3 2.5-8 for the SWFA 3-9x42 HD...

Steiner Predator.... I have two and very sweet. Also have a couple of the Nightforce SHV's. Equally nice.

Here is my Tikka T3 Varmint

Scope is Bushnell DMR 3.5-21x50 if you search you can find them on sale for a good price. The LRHS is great too...have it sitting on my Tikka 300 wsm.

I suppose the 3 I listed aren't very popular...I will have a look at a few recommendations this week.
Thanks

That's a relatively new scope which is why nobody has really recommended it. I think they just came out this year. Let us know how you like it once you get a chance to shoot it.

I have the same scope on my Weatherby North Mark in 257 Weatherby and love it, mine has the HSR-4 reticle. Great glass and a really suitable reticle.
