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.

Tikka is the way wish I learned that sooner!! Got one for my wife and I will never buy anything else for bolt action after lol I made the mistake of buying a savage never again the action is butter on the tikka. Also 308 or 30-06 are both solid choices I think 308 surplus ammo for range days is easier to find tho. I have 300 win mag and 270 win both cost an arm and a leg
