Shooting First riffle

Post image

After month of contemplating what riffle to get brand and calibure. I finally landed on the tikka tx3 308 win. And took about a week to finally track one down and I got it right away. So excited to get a scope and fire it for the first time. I was very torn on the 30-06 bc the stores in my area had more 30-06 selection over tge win but canadian tire had a huge selection of different types for the 308. But for a first deer riffle I think it was the better choice.

Thats awesome man!

I am also considering a Tikka .308 or 6.5 CM down the road for medium and long range shooting.

I guess the next thing will be scope selection!
