Feets / Collection / My build Thanks for the suggestion

Now with more feeties!

Bought my first gun, a Tikka t3x in 308. Many people I've talked to said your recommendations were on point. Now to look into scopes!

Only problem is there is some dents on the barrel. I know things get banged up and the first scratch it always the hardest to accept, but it sucks getting it pre banged up. What would you do in this situation? It took long enough to get mailed here (form Firearms outlet) and I really like the grain on the stock and I'd hate it if I had to return, wait forever, and get back a new good barrel with lesser stock

Hey it’s their gun. Like buying a new truck with a scuff in it already. No matter how many more you get, the first one always sticks out. Especially when your buddy mechanic drives it into his tool box in front of you. At least acetone took out the red mark

Yeah sure its their gun now & Yeah thats a terrible analogy honestly. This isnt a 70k truck and typically people aren't gonna be baggin their brand new trucks into the bush to be roughly abused.
