i always spend a minimum of $200 on glass. I am a big fan of nikon. i own a nikon range finder and a pro-staff 3-9 scope and a monarch 4-16 mil dot scope. i have never regreted spending more on glass. it's totally worth it.
i hae owned a T3 lite in 223 for 3 years and love it. it's my favorite gun. I bought a T3 LS in 308 last week and my very first 3 shot group with factory ammo was 5/8". I think no one can go wrong with a Tikka. I also own a vortex diamondback 4-12 with a bdc reticle. They were out of stock on pro-staffs when i was looking the salesman recomended this model because it was the same price at $250.
Buying this scope was not a mistake. it works well.
i used to buy $100 scopes but that was a waste of $200 in scope,time spent, and ammo used.
i find that upping the $$ to $200 minimum gets me a scope that i'm happy with.
The one and only thing i have not liked about tikka is the short magazine. there is no extra room for loading bullets closer to the lands. I modified my 223 clip to accept longer loads. is it necessary? no. the gun already shot sub moa but i'm a perfectionist in the pursuit of better accuracy. As it turns out, i am using 60gr bullets and don't even use the extra length.
