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

Are you going to hunt with it? The blemish is pretty minor compared to what you'll do to it in the bush. (I have an old synthetic tikka t3 in 7mm mag that the barrel has some "love" scratches in it from chasing deer). If its actual dents though id be more concerned.
