That is super shooting at 500 yards. I've never tried to shoot at a target that far away (yet) .25 and .32 at 100 yards is what my 17 wsm does (low wind). Not a chance it would be that tight further out.
Oh Dicks is overpriced. I usually buy from a private arms dealer. Dicks is just close to my house and sometimes I just like to see what they have in stock.
Oh I like this gun, I'm a sucker for wood or laminate over plastic. Only 8 pounds too.

Thanks! Too bad on the Tikka not being in USA. The Bergara is a little heavy (9.5 pounds i think) but its well balanced. Maybe I'll just get a CZ in .204 I know they are available and shoot pretty good.
That is what they call dirty stainless. Take a magnet to it, if it sticks its not stainless its has iron in it and will rust. Different grades of stainless, its not all rust proof.
I was in a Dicks today and saw a new gun. It was a Bergara in 6.5 creedmore. Its not much to look at but the stock has some nice features. It was 999.00.
I'm looking for a Varmint gun maybe good for 400 yards or so. So 223, 22-250 or maybe .204 cal.
The Tikka T3x super varmint looks...
Drifter, yes that scope is a maybe. It has focus on the Objective while the SWFA has it on the eyepiece/or side (optional)
Just a bit trickier to reach out to the objective while holding the gun.
I sort of like that basic no frills sight.

The pickens are slim for sure in the fixed area. I am looking at the SWFA only because a few guys swear by them. Meaning they are gauging the buyers less than bigger named companies thus you get more for the money. Well I already have a nice 6-24x scope and a fixed should cost less, as...
Steve123,
Many PCP guys are use to bench shooting and many are saying go 12x go 20x. I'm not sure if they have ever hunted. Yea tiny targets with the gun in a vise you can use 24x and those targest are not in a tree or on the ground. When I was a kid I used 4x. But I thought maybe I...
I am curious if a 6x fixed 12" SWFA SS will be close to the clarity of a 17" Elite 6-24x, they elite retails for more than 2x its price but variables cost more to make vs fixed. Might be a wash.
I am looking to ditch my Elite Vairable 6-24x for a fixed. Its a great scope, no issues I just want to go back to my roots. I feel getting use to 1 power and not having to fiddle around with things (because its there) simplfies things and makes you a better shooter, one less thing to think...
