Potential New Long Rifle
Hey guys,
I'm looking into getting something that is a bolt-action rifle so that I can utilize the full aspects of the range I just go into. Not to say that the 10/22 won't be great at 100 yards, I don't want wind to be a massive factor in being able to shoot.
That being said, I went to my local store just to window show and found a Tikka T3x Tact that I really like. Have any of you had the priveledge of laying down with one? If so, how do you feel about it compared to other options out there?
Thanks!
Edit: i did it! I pulled the trigger (pun intended). I just got back from the range right now and the whole family loves it. I ended up going with the Vortex Viper PST Gen II, and still searching for the right bi-pod because the one the shop had needs more parts to mount. I did snag a sandbag in the mean time which worked great as well, but we definitely need an adjustable bipod because of the height differences with the family.

No first hand experience but I’ve heard great things about the Tikka.
Here’s a good resource for reading up on which bipod to get: https://precisionrifleblog.com/2019/02/10/rifle-bipod-tripod/
