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

This is why I never order firearms online always in person. You can see the condition of the rifle then ask but again not the end of the world but yes I get it. You want you first rifle shiny and unblemished

Yeah as a Tikka dealer i can confirm theyre in backorder hell. However this one id bet was a display model. While FoC probably wont return it, id still reach out they may offer you some instore credit.

Ah so I feel like I made the right decision to get one online. Hope you see the other photo I've uploaded that shows the divot damage. Beyond the aesthetics, I hope that there isn't unseen damage that goes along with it
