My tikka is a shooter but I want to lighten it up for backpacking and alpine hunting, I’ve got a wildcat lightweight stock coming, and I’ll put a muzzle break on in to lessen the kick at the range, but what scope do you guys suggest? I’ve got around $1000 to spend, thinking z3 3-10X42 or vx3i 4.5-14x40 or 3.5-10x40. Anyone have experience with any of these? Is the 4.5-14 good out to 14? They all weight around 13 oz which is what I want to keep it at or under.
Thanks for any input!
