I know this was posted already a million times but I'm going to ask anyway. I'm interested in building my first long range rifle and I'm debating on going with a tikka t3x ctr stainless 24". Does anybody know any better options for a similar price? Probably just going to find a long range and plink with it for now but I might get into some sort or compititons eventually. Let me know what you guys think.
First long range rifle t3x?

pull the trigger you know you wanna , just buy it and shoot it and have fun . If you like it it's all that matters , if you don't like it sell it for a huge loss to someone else who will be happy to own it at a nice discounted price and you get to start over on another rifle , scope and bi pod and ammo and bags . Everyone get to be happy . I hope it all works out for you and good luck in competitions .
If you let everybody make your decisions for you then you’re going to waste a lot of money over time.
A better question to ask is how many have bought a Tikka and regretted it?

Or you could spend a little more and have this sexy beast and drop it in a chassis of your choice!
If hasn’t come out yet, anything you would hear would be pure speculation. Theory.
I bet you will be pleased with that CTR. I have a few and they all shoot 140gr American gunner as good as anything. 70 cents per round to your door.
There are a lot of options in that range. Call Doug at cameraland and ask him if he has anymore of the Bushnell LRTS 4.5-18. They are impressive for the money.
Its a personal preference. I use earplugs and muffs because I shoot so often (ready for my suppressor). Even double plugged, brakes are obnoxious. The best thing you can do to save your hearing is to add weight to the rifle to reduce recoil and muzzle rise and skip the brake. Even double plugged you are doing damage that will add up.
If I were competing I would shoot with a brake. If I were shooting a big magnum. I would use a brake. Beyond that absolutely not. Many love them and thats fine as well as long as they aren't shooting beside me.
Viper PST Gen2 3-15 is what I have on my TacA1. Excellent optic. Cant go wrong with Bushnell or SWFA either. Lots of great options out there. Major buyers market.
Get a Steiner P4 from cameraland and put it on a CTR with good rings and bases. You will be able to hit targets a long way off consistently with that set up.
